I just celebrated my 20th anniversary with my employer. I made it through two big mergers, but it was the third one that got me. My position was elimiated and my last day of work was June 26th. I'm sitting here at my computer, the fourth day of not working and it's weird. I dropped the kids off at summer camp and went grocery shopping. For the first time in a long time, I didn't have to worry about hurrying up to get to work. I was on my own time. I'm wondering how long it will be before it finally hits me that I don't have a job. I have a years severance, so I'm not worried, at least I won't be until next July. We have a couple of trips to California planned for July. Hopefully, we'll be at Disneyland celebrating Joshua's 6th birthday. Then the kids are back in school on August 12th. The summer already seems to be going by so fast.
Now it's my turn to relax. To think about what I want to do "when I grow up." What job will allow me to earn a decent paycheck (enough to cover SJV tuition) and still spend my time with the family? What business could I start on my own?
So many questions, I have . . . but now it's just time to relax. :-)
