New opportunities

I don't talk about my work much here. That's intentional. I don't think it's appropriate. Sometimes, though, my work life encroaches on my personal life and I have to at least say something.

Like today.

My (now former) employer of 11 years and I have parted company. Thus, I am unemployed.

The offers of help and support I've received so far have helped cushion the blow. I have some time to ponder my next step.

While I liked the work and really wanted to bring my project to completion, it's also been stressing me out for months. I wasn't even allowed to take all my vacation this summer, what with all the work. I could really use a break.

Once I've given myself a little time to decompress, I'll be out there looking for new challenges and new opportunities. I have some ideas, but would greatly appreciate help and suggestions.
