Saying good bye to another great employee and friend at work. Boss paid for lunch today. To bad the only time he does this is when someone good leaves.

How's your job search going?

I am on the bus, going to NYC going to miss the city for sure one day soon.


I kind of stopped searching. I started having to much time invested in skiing and commute. And need me health insurance for 2 more month's. I started looking again in April. Thanks for asking. No excuses but this economy it is scary to look for a new job, after 7 years now at the same one, but my boss is an as& so time for me to go soon.

I'm having one of those existential crisis moments where there's a lot I need to figure out/arrange, but so much of it is out of my hands I can't do anything about it, but I need to be prepared for when things do fall into place, but how one thing falls into place drastically affects how other things get handled, and generally there are several combinations of things that need to happen to set off other combinations of things.

New job starting 4/15, old job ending 3/28
Old house ending May 1, new lease starting somewhere between April 15 and May 1st, but won't know where until later this week when we get the word on an offer we put in.
Where the house is determines where to get a slip to put the boat, and whether we sell the sail boat or continue storing it in the driveway (1 house we can, 1 we can't). Need to renew the boat registrations, but can't until we have an address.
Leaving for vacation April 3rd (at least that's settled- has been up in the air for 3 weeks), getting back the 9th, so need to book the dog kennel.
New baby coming in July, so need to order furniture/decorate room, but can't until we know where we're living, since the nursery would be different in the two houses. Also, the backorder is a couple of months, so need to give a delivery address that's 2 months in the future. Obviuosly, need to know which house for that.
New job supplies iPads as a business need, but I don't like iPads, and for what I do, I don't think they're workeable. Old job is working on converting people to Microsoft Surface instead of laptops, so I want to see if I can get an employee discount, and if the new job will support it (or subsidize it). But, the CEO is on vacation for 2 weeks, and he has to decide. Also want to port my cell phone number from old to new job, but don't know how they will wnat to handle the 2 week gap, during which time I'll be on vacation, and would like to have a phone available.

So, lots of 1st world problems I have to sort out. What I'd rather be doing is day dreaming about vacation.

Considering asking new personal women at work what the herb shops opened up in Caly if she enjoys that. Maybe not a good idea.

Making coffee, not running to the bus at ridiculous hour in the morning. Going to bank and getting car to try to pass inspection, hopefully my Westchester car mechanic hasn't forgotten me and gives me a pass with the car. He great and honest and cheap. I like all 3 of these. Then off to see my dad in rehab( not drugs). Then get ready for fun day of Skiing Elk in Pennsylvania on Sunday with others A zoners ,it be fun times.:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::):):)
