So, not that I have blogged very much about it, but I was not feeling very satisfied in my job. I wasn't busy, I didn't feel important, and I HATED billing hours every month.
Well, my subconscious prayer was answered last week when they laid me off!
Which, really, is good news. Now I am free to explore my options--think about what I REALLY want to do--and be picky about my next job choice.
So. Now. I am at the end of Week Two and wondering where all my time has gone! I have filled my time weighing job announcements ( Would I REALLY like working in Boulder?), assuming each one would hire me, working and re-working my resume and cover letters, and occasionally cleaning the kitchen. I had this idea I would have so much free time, I needed to make a list so I wouldn't get bored.
On the list: clean out shed, clean out office, go through and organize all the stuff I brought home from my office, work out every day, start garden, apply for at least one job per day, network, get part-time job and work on some of the home histories Dave has.
Thusfar accomplished: I have applied for 2 jobs.
Ugh.
I assume things will really start happening NEXT week!
*Just to be clear--the firm is downsizing. When I started there 5 years ago, I was one of 6 attorneys and we had 2 secretaries. They were down to just me. The other partner is retiring, so my boss would have had to pay my salary alone. And, considering I wasn't exactly working my tail off, I don't blame him for his choice.

Please note that I did leave any catty comments on the blog re: your extended leave.
Glad to have you back. Lord knows I can't do it all myself, and THAT one *gesture to P* isn't any help at all.
hahahaha I DID notice! And really, I thought I'd be blogging MORE! But, alas... staying at home doesn't lend itself to inspiration. Maybe I will try more blogs re: the cats. Although I recently learned they spend most of their day asleep on Dave's dirty laundry.
Umm, some of us still have jobs (ohh, burn! low blow...yada yada) and are busy with deadlines at which point some of us start becoming miserable and thrown into the mix of able bodies to fill holes in schedules. So SORRY i haven't blogged recently. But it's good to know that if you google our blog, it's the first link.
