After a year at the quick lube, I've become rather comfortable in several areas, including general business, customer support, and business management. While I've not done everything there is to do, I've done a lot of it.

I love my job right now. I have the best employers anyone could ask for, and I learn new skills every day. However, I can't see much farther past where I'm at right now. There's a little bit of room for me to "move up the ladder", but nothing that will really be beneficial to me in the long run.

As a result, I've decided that 2007 is the year I move on. This is a tough choice that I've made, but I had to make it. I will begin the search for a new job, and if it is deemed a necessity, I will move out of state. I have to further myself in life, and I can't do that in Hickville, USA.

January 1, 2007, I am going to begin applying for jobs outside of my local driving area. I'm going to do this in hopes of finding the "dream job" doing something I will love.

Now I just need to find a way to explain this to everyone...
