It’s time… I might as well post about it…

On Tuesday of this past week I found out that I was no longer gainfully employed. This is the second time in 18 months, but this time’s a little different. 18 months ago, the company that I had worked at for the previous 10 1/2 years was closing its doors. I was simply a casualty of war. As much as it hurt, there wasn’t much reason to take it personally. Last week was the first time that I’ve been dismissed from a company that is going to move on without me.

Now to clarify, I don’t blame them for making the decision. I don’t. The business model coupled with the drying up of client based work (and income) made the company take a good hard look at what was essential and what could be outsourced. When you take those factors in connection to my salary, there was a big red arrow pointing at me. I of course didn’t want to see it coming, so I didn’t. I tend to think on the optimistic side no matter what and I’m not going to stop now…

I will find work. Soon. In the meantime, maybe I’ll post here a little more often. Too bad it’s not spring. I’d ask dad to go fishing…
