Yesterday was my last day working at the laboratory. Today is my first day of unemployment. As the title suggests, I feel a bit like a fish out or water. I’m not saying the lab job was my ideal job, not by a long shot. But it was part of me and I was part of it for nearly 8 years.
“Now what?”
It’s not hard to find the silver lining in this current chapter of my life, but I do feel the need to remind myself that there are positives to being jobless. At the top of that list is: “Free Time”. So what will I do with all my new-found free time? Part of it will be spent searching for a new job, but certainly not the 10 hours a day I previously spent working and commuting to my job.
I will invest more time posting YouTube videos and writing in this blog. I hope you, my viewers and readers will continue to find them both interesting and entertaining. As I have said many times, it wouldn’t be any fun without you.
Other plans include more minimizing of my stuff, and more exercise. This is my favorite time of year and I intend to take full advantage of the enthusiasm I feel right now. 2012 BRING IT ON!!
Your comments are always welcome and appreciated.
Now go take on the day!
Peace, out.

ReplyDeleteIf it wasn't for the money I'd love to be out of work again....Just that darned money!!

Hi Jeff,
ReplyDeleteYes, I will miss the money a lot. Lots of people out of work here, so there's a good chance I will get a long vacation out of this. LOL No worries though. I know it will all work out.
Cheers,
Duane
