As of today, I am legally and technically unemployed. I’m under NDA to my previous employer, and I’m receiving Disability until my next employer.
It’s kinda overwhelming. These past few years have been the wildest roller coaster of my life. I am truly going to miss the friends and co-workers I’ve made these past few years. I wish we could have done more together; I would have liked to see our project go further (with the plans we had for improving it).
Over the past few years, Victoria and I neglected our house while we focused on my health and our travels to support it. Now we need to literally “clean house” as we address each room and make everything useable once again.
With my health and job search, I need a separate office space from the one Vicky has. She has an office in our Guest Room while I have a wall of our Master Bedroom. Both were neglected and collected books, papers, dust, and cruft. Now I need to make mine clean, presentable, and professional again.
Since hiring managers, co-workers, and engineering teams assess your background as much as you, I need to clean up my office so that my background is as clean and professional as my desk and workspace is.
So these next few days, and likely next full week, will be very busy as I pick myself up, dust myself off, and try to get my life back in order again.
Sorry to hear that you are not working at this time but with all your knowledge you will find something soon.
Nothing in life is constant, except change. Embrace the change. You can do it.
