A Juncture

I have changed employment in the past month which has left me really distraught. Unfortunately, this was a necessary move. I'm now selling Fine Paper as opposed to printing. Oh, and it's not the same thing as working for Dunder Mifflin. Professionally, it will be a lot similar to selling printing.

I will be calling primarily on Printers to sell them parent sheets, rolls, digital paper or if they want copy paper, that too. I won't be picky. I'm hungry and if I can sell it, I will.

The internal battle I'm facing has to do with leaving a position that I wasn't entirely happy with to a position that has a questionable future. My new position does have a great upside in the fact that I will be working from home, I can make my own hours, I now have company 401k matching, better health insurance and I'm attaining an established territory.

The downside at the moment is I feel depressed and lost. I am also scared that this position could dissolve at any moment and the possibility is out of my hands. All I can do is hope for the best and try to learn as much as I can in the time that I have. Never the less, I worry. I'm really good at worrying. I know the current depression is mostly due to changing environments and having to get acclimated all over again to a new company. I miss my old co-workers. I miss the day to day banter we had.

Regardless, all that I missed unfortunately was not paying the bills. I had to make the move or I'm not sure what the outcome would have been. Where's the light at the end of the tunnel?
