Hiatus

Hello again. It's been ages since my two intro posts. I've been busy working, and didn't take the time to blog.

And I just deleted an entire post which I used as a platform to vent, since this blog is not yet followed anyway :). It felt really good to journal the experience, but I now feel it's time to remove the post.

As a synopsis:
I had been hired in April as an interior designer and in-house graphic designer, for what I thought was my dream job/career.
I was told I was an independent contractor (for the interior design part), and an equal/a business partner (until I pissed off the boss, which was extremely easy to do, and then I was a no-body, a nothing, an ungrateful xyz, a spoiled brat, and my favorite demeaning insult: I was "just an employee."
I was told soooooo many promises, and nothing was put in writing.
I had no reason to believe the promises, but we humans can be quite blind and deaf when we choose to be.
Oh, yeah, I dated my boss.
It was a tumultuous relationship from the first week, and it progressively worsened.
The personal and professional relationships were anything but healthy and supportive for me.
For some reason (um, that would be fear), I wanted to keep the job… no matter what.
It ended extremely badly. Extremely. The guy is not human… nor humane.
I'm starting over again.
And while financially, in the short term, that's not such a good thing, starting over again (and being away from him) is a great thing in the big picture.
And I'll learn lessons from this experience.

So, there, you get the gist but were saved a soap opera. And some of my later posts will still make some sense.
