Sooo. . . Let me put a little situation out here. Say you dating someone for a while. After some time, and some rough experiences everything loses its magic. You think that there may be better opportunities elsewhere. So you look around, slowly breaking away from your significant other, and find something that seems exciting, and definitely different. Not like, dating another gender different, but you get the idea. So you tell your lover, and they react calmly at first. A little too calmly. But you keep going on, you know, you're at the part where you're packing up your stuff and you get a call. The person on the other line tells you that this new person you're interested in has moved on and they don't want you anymore. In fact, they want nothing to do with you. When you begin to question what happened so suddenly, you find out that your ex is the conspirator. That they purposely ruined your new relationship just to keep you. So that you wouldn't have anything but them.
Now, since I like, LOVE analogies, this is what this story is about. I found a new job. I quit the one I had. They found out where I was going, called the new place, and most likely threatened legal action over a "non-compete" contract, which technically won't stand in court anyways since it is highly unreasonable. Now, what the fuck would motivate an employer to take such an action? I seriously have spent the better part of the day thinking about this. And don't get me wrong, I wasn't going to a direct competitor, or client, I didn't even ask for a counter offer (which they didn't offer anyways). If they knew I was unhappy, why wouldn't they just let me go? And I truly don't feel that this is paranoia, as this exact incident happened to a girl last year as well.
Mostly I'm just frustrated over the situation. To be honest, I wasn't crazy about the new job, but I was ready to try something else. But obviously that step is going to be alot harder for me now. Today has just been a miserable day
I know its Monday, but I cannot possibly wait until the weekend to start drinking. seriously.
