Hi e2. It’s been a while. I missed you, in the distant way that an analytic personality misses an absent friend. I’ve lurked a bit, logged in from time to time, but I could never put together any words that I thought were worth sharing. Once we lost my friend dannye, I didn’t have a correspondent to keep me up to date on doings on the site, and I drifted away.
Late in 2015, my erstwhile employer told me I would be terminated. My services would no longer be required. I got two week’s working notice and a generous severance package, so I can’t complain about my treatment. I went on holiday, saw The Force Awakens on the first day, and enjoyed the festive holiday season. Now it’s job search time! But until I succeed, I have time to write, too!
It has been almost 20 years it’s been since I last looked for work. I’m taking time to review my options and to choose a new path. It turns out that there’s a lot for me to learn about looking for work, and it seems that for once e2 isn’t already full of clever write-ups that say what I want to say, only better. So as I work through the process, I’ll node a bit about what I discover.
