A Bearable Lightness of Being
I was talking to Dazz recently about how I wasn't using my blog to its fullest potential. While I had originally intended to write gobs, much like *** Dave or Doyce or any number of other people do in their blogs, I simply haven't done it. I haven't even managed to latch onto any of the cool little quizzes that are floating around. So I resolved to myself that I would make a habit of writing something to the blog every day, like a journal.
Then I lost my job. Though it was the biggest thing in my mind, I didn't want to post about it until I told everyone that needed to know (or at least everyone that I didn't want to find out second-hand through the blog). With that done with tonight, I finally feel free to talk about it here. Of course, having said that, there really isn't much left to say.
I'm okay, for the short term, but it's a bit of a "short" term to be working from. However, I've been able to get an interview already and so far it's looking positively. I'll know more about how successfully it went next week. Damn the timing of it all. Waiting sucks.
On the flip side, I've been enjoying my time off as much as I can. There's only so much time that can be devoted to job hunting without getting incredibly anal about it and I haven't hit that point yet. It's been nice to have some time off, but I'm ready to go back to work. Every day feels like a Saturday or a Sunday, except there's no Iron Chef and no football on TV.
Having free time has been cool in another respect too. I have more energy and I'm getting out more. Been meeting people left and right since the weekend and it's been a fun ride.
Now, if only I can get that site layout redesign done and get MT up and running, and get Mandrake 9.0 installed on the old Windows 98 box, I'd be all set.
