Popular Post Mrs Tiggywinkle Again Posted August 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) Yesterday was my last full time scheduled day of work. I’ll probably still often work full time hours during the week, because I work for two companies who literally have call ins every day, but it will be around my own schedule. I was super nervous about money and walking away from a career goal, but then the same day I got an email that I was chosen to speak at a huge firefighting and EMS conference, one that accepts about 100 presentations out of over a thousand proposals every year. It’s a huge huge honor—and made me feel better about making this choice. But the unknown is still scary… Edited August 17, 2023 by Mrs Tiggywinkle Again 79 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grace Hopper Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Yay for you! I imagine it does feel a bit like dangling a foot over the edge of a cliff. But congrats on being invited to present! Hope that will open doors for you to be invited to speak at other places. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Tiggywinkle Again Posted August 17, 2023 Author Share Posted August 17, 2023 I actually stepped down from a Full time paramedic supervisor job because I have so many presentation/speaking requests and am teaching a lot this year, and they just couldn’t get me the time off. Hopefully, though this will give me much more time with my kids. 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Tiggywinkle Again Posted August 17, 2023 Author Share Posted August 17, 2023 Oh and then our homeschool books came today! I am far more excited than the third grader who would prefer to ditch school all together and ride around on the tractor with DH. 9 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
