A week into my new career of joining the ranks of the unemployed, I am having fun while at the same time finding life without the routine of the daily grind a bit frightening. That's the best way I can describe it right now.
The perks:
- I have come to enjoy being on the bike more than I have in a long while. No longer worried about "getting caught" dumping work for a ride even though I had open permission to do so. Stupid to worry in that regard, I know.
- Getting to catch up on things I normally put off for a good long while...like car washing, laundry, lawn mowing, etc. Hopefully I'll get better at getting these things done too.
- Amazing support from amazingly good people whom I am fortunate enough to call my family and friends. A sincere and heartfelt thank you to you all.
- More time to ride. More time for golf.
The drawbacks:
- Everything is on hold. New bike. Classes for the kids. Frivolous yet fun little purchases. Everything.
- Decisions. What should I do, where should we go? Is it to find a job as fast as possible or get back in school for something new and completely different?
- More time to be lazy.
Any way...I am going to use this space just to document how things progress. I already had to delete one blog about this time a week ago. So I know it's a pretty easy solution to get this offline if immediately necessary.
Hope everyone out in bloggerville is having a good Wednesday! I'll be in touch.
