Every single person who even remotely knows me would tell you that I am deeply in love with my work, with my company and with my team. I have become so comfortable and it’s beginning to scare me.
I was called by a company offering me a senior position in their company. The company was in the middle of discussing the position with me when I just suddenly stopped the person and told him point blank that I wasn’t interested.
It was instinctual, automatic and so easy to do.
It wasn’t until a few hours after when I realized what I had done. It scares me just how comfortable I’ve become with this job so much so that I let emotions make the decision rather than my brain. That job I was being offered would have given me more than double what I’m earning in ITI Consulting and I turned it down just like that.
I honestly believe in my heart of hearts that I made the right decision. I think going to work feeling excited every day is something so rare that I must not give it up that easily. I do think though that the next time something like this comes along I must remember to THINK and THINK and THINK some more. I can’t do what I did a few days ago…please…If I do, somebody slap me please.

Your post sounds so familiar. Gash I did the same thing right? Sometimes though, I wonder what it would be like if I actually accepted the offer given to me. When I turned it down, the company was willing to make an even better offer but I just have to stop for fear that I’d be tempted and the same cycle would go over again (you know, tell my boss about it then they would talk to me again etc…).
So I’m praying you made the right decision too. To stay, that is.
