During Thanksgiving 2015, something happened to me, somehow, lost my consulting job. The details are still a blur, but the main thing is I'm no longer there. However, as everyone else told me, It could be considered as a blessing in disguise. I wanted to go back to engineering in the long run, but was comfortable there. And that was the problem, I was too comfortable.
During this difficult time could not go home for the Holidays in Puerto Rico. The emotions felt were heavy, great sadness, not able to speak about it, it hurt. It was like being dumped and betrayed. But something my mom told me was "Life goes on, and something good will come". I did a lot of binge watching on Hulu and Netflix and reading, lots of reading. The book that touched me and was hard to put down was the "Japanese Lover" by Isabel Allende, I read it in Spanish of course.
I got through it by treating this time, by looking for job as a full time job as well. I applied and interviewed to many jobs. I didn't prepare well, because I didn't want to look for one. I did uber for a while and then I found my new job. I started back from zero, but I am doing engineering and traveling way more, and to different locations.
Lately I have checked out some places from my bucket list. My favorite is Sale Lake City so far, the views were amazing. I had the same feeling as watching the Grand Canyon for the first time. It was something I have only seen in magazines about paradise and wonders.
If you like my pink safety glasses, here is where I got them!
