I know it's been forever . . .
. . . but I'm going to resurrect this blog. I've had a lot of life changes very recently, and maybe I can use this forum to figure out what I want to do now.
May 10th I was laid off from my job of over 9 1/2 years. That really hurts. And I haven't looked for work since 1996, so I have no idea what I'm doing. I don't even know how to write a resume. I haven't been unemployed since 1994, so this is really weird.
It feels good to write about this. I don't care if no one ever reads it. It's just good to get it out. I feel lighter. I've only told a few people. The idea of calling my friends and family and telling them I've lost my job is just not something I can handle.
I've done some things in the last couple of weeks I can feel good about: I've been working out at least at three times a week at the gym at the pool, trying to get in better shape. I can feel the difference. My son and I went to the beach Saturday, and I climbed to the top of the sand dune at Cape Kiwanda; I've never done that before. The only other time I even tried, I only made it 2/3 of the way (or less) before I was too beat to climb another step. I'm really proud of my accomplishment. It's a big deal for me. If I can do that, I can find a new job.

I got canned a week and a half ago. Granted, it was from a job that I'd held 3 months. And I was actively looking for something different. But it still sucks to be unemployed.h
I'm sorry to here you got laid off. I'm glad you're able to enjoy the time, even though it sucks.
Ooh, major bummer about the job. Bravo on the climb!
