The Times they are a-ending

Bye and bye, The Times they are a-ending and with that...and my impending last day--I can hear the collective finally from all of you who have been with me from T-day oh so long ago (April 7). With the end in sight, I've started working on the things to get me set for life after this job...mostly, my next job. But also, what I am going to do in the meantime.

I am REALLY excited because the weather is supposed to be fantastic beginning, ironically enough, Wednesday afternoon. I see a cool drink and my roofdeck in my future. Oh and a baseball game, and some hiking, and some reading, and oh yeah finding a job.

I have posted my resume online. The first 5 days after posting it I felt like the hottest new girl in town...I was beating recruiters off with a stick. The thing is the jobs they were calling about. And I'm still scratching my head over the call I got from a woman who said they found my resume online and were very interested in me for something and then said they would review my resume and if they liked it, they would call me...what? Why did they call me at all? Whatever.

And I have filed for Unemployment. I would like to point out that in my family they may have beaten me at buying a home, getting married, having kids, earning doctorates, becoming doctors...but I am the first to file for Unemployment. We've all paid into it and frankly, I've earned it. I am hoping to find my next big thing within six weeks so keep your fingers crossed.

So hitting the ground running on getting in shape (feel like having nothing else going on is a great reason), and approaching the job hunt like a job itself --more on that in the coming days. Coming tomorrow...my office will. Now who do I give my prized possessions to??
