My boss made it clear that when they hired me again that they hope I’m in it for the long run. And at the time, my side business was just starting and I had no idea it would pick up this fast, so I told him I was. I guess I just feel bad that they spent money training me when I told them I’d be here for the long haul and now I’m thinking about leaving again.
