Employment, or lack thereof

i have never moved on from a job that i ended up wishing i had stayed. that is especially true since i have been contracting. there are people that i miss, but the ones that matter stay in touch anyway and move from the category of co-worker to friend.

i have one of those at this assignment. we'll continue to be friends.

that said, every single time my contract comes to an end, i have this momentary panic attack. . .who will ever hire me, i will never work again. i think everyone i know gets that feeling.

this time i know the other side. this time i'm going to update my resume, file for unemployment and go through the steps. but this time i'm also going to make my plans and enjoy the time i have off. all too often i have frittered my time off away worrying about working again.

so, i'm going to address my sorely neglected house and get some projects done that are bordering on "invisible". i'm going to finish my back treatments, i'm going to spend some time with my grandchildren. . .then grandma is taking a vacation!!

grandma (nana) is taking a trip to watch the 2007 baja 1000 that starts in ensenada, baja california mexico and ends in cabo san lucas. what fun!

and this will be my first trip on the dakar. i purchased this bike after returning from our last trip on the sv650s and not being able to take the road to laguna san ignacio. i was a cranky princess. :-) i don't know the planned route yet, but am not unwilling to blaze my own trail if need be.

so this unemployment stint could work out to my advantage. . .
