New opportunities
I don’t talk about my work much here. That’s intentional. I don’t think it’s appropriate. Sometimes, though, my work life encroaches on my personal life and I have to at least say something.
Like today.
My (now former) employer of 11 years and I have parted company. Thus, I am unemployed.
The offers of help and support I’ve received so far have helped cushion the blow. I have some time to ponder my next step.
While I liked the work and really wanted to bring my project to completion, it’s also been stressing me out for months. I wasn’t even allowed to take all my vacation this summer, what with all the work. I could really use a break.
Once I’ve given myself a little time to decompress, I’ll be out there looking for new challenges and new opportunities. I have some ideas, but would greatly appreciate help and suggestions.

hugs I’m so sorry to hear that. At least you get a break though, I know you’ve been super busy for awhile, and have been under a lot of stress. I know I’m far away, but we’re thinking of you

Thanks, Liz. A break is a very good idea, but I think I’m gonna get out there and start looking sooner rather than later.

Glad to hear you’re getting a chance to take it easy. Keep your head up and take advantage of this opportunity – i’m sure you’ll find something you’ll enjoy, soon, and you’ll be well-rested for it. I’m moving back to Belleville in November. Drop me a note. Best of luck!
