Involuntary

It's a big word if you think about it. My company just sent out "voluntary separation" severance packages. I work in automotive and live in the Detroit area so it's not a big shock. Still this voluntary separation will be followed with involuntary separation.

These words are making me think about all the things I do in my life that I have choices and opportunities for. I've decided to become more voluntary in my life. I am finally going to talk to a college guidance counselor about getting back into college. I have had enough with the involuntary part of my life. I have started to also speak out at work more and people are listening. I deserve more money and those promotions. I had a meeting with the head of my department yesterday (yikes) and we talked for a bit about these issue. He said he was going to look into my past and find out what happening. Hope something positive comes out of it. TBD. Voluntary.
