I'mmmm Baaack

Whew, that may be the longest hiatus of blogging I have had outside of a vacation. But while I am not working, I am not on a vacation.

The bad news is that I got laid off from my job as a PAC compliance specialist. The contracts and clients that I serviced were sold to another vendor and my services were no longer desired by my former employer. What sucks is the manner in which the deal was handled. Literally, I left on a Friday and everything was copacetic. I come back on Monday to find that my key card no longer worked and that my network log in had been changed. The funny thing was that I didn't think anything of either obstacle. I tend to leave my key card near the microwave and figured that it just got fried somehow. We were required to change our network passwords every 45 days or so and I figured I just changed the password and forgot it. A few minutes after getting both a new password and a new key card, I was told that I was being let go.

This does put something more of an urgent urgency on finding a new job, which was an on-going search even prior to my departure. So if anyone out there knows of a law firm looking for political law help or education law help, please let me know. (send tips to the email address at the top of the page.)

In the meantime, I have spent a great deal of time working on getting my resume out there and doing the networking thing. It is amazing how much effort that takes when you have a clock on you.

Funny thing about the business deal that resulted in my termination, a number of my (now former) clients are none-too-happy with the deal, the manner in which it was conducted and the impact on me (aren't they sweet). A few are even reviewing whether or not the deal could have gone through without prior notice to them. Since I didn't write or even see their current contracts, I don't know how that will work out.

At any rate, not having posted in a while has gotten me a little frustrated (and not to mention a little backlogged in my thoughts and thinking). So over the next couple of days, I hope to get back on track.

Oh--one bonus of being home a little more in the springtime--lots of beautiful days to spend outside with my family.
