Say what?

I started packing today.

Where am I going?
TBD.

When am I going?
TBD.

The only known is that I am leaving this burg for something/place much better sometime in the near future...and going will require moving. So I'm getting a jump on things and I'm packing.
Makes sense to me, makes sense to those who know me...but it doesn't make sense to the general public.

I ran into my neighbor while bringing boxes into the apartment. He asked me when I was moving. "I am not sure". He then said "Where are going?" "I am not sure." He stopped and looked at me and then said "Oh, you haven't decided." I corrected him - "No, I'm not sure where I'm going and when I'll go, but I know I'm going sometime in the near future." He looked at me as if I had said "Purple pigs smoke crack but only when Homer Simpson makes out with Big Mamma under the yellow men."

I also had the same type of experience with interviews. One interviewer, who used to work for the same company I used to work for, told the recruiter that he was confused about why I left my former company. He said"Well, if she doesn't like {city} so much, why is she conducting her job search from there?" He couldn't wrap his head around why ANYONE would leave this company without knowing exactly where they were going or what they were doing. The other company phrased it like this "She has made a brave decision and we're not completely comfortable with that. " It's funny how the recruiters get it, but the interviewers haven't. I tell them all the same story - the truth. Being the consummate marketing professional that I am, I have devised a way to communicate the story in a way that won't upset their conventional notions AND it will highlight one of my strengths.

On a more positive note, PC interview is right around the corner!
