Career Changes and Futures

Today friends, I joined the ranks of my fellow Americans let go due to funding cuts. Yep, I'm unemployed and job hunting.

Before we go further, I'm not going to bad mouth my previous employer. That's NOT how I handle things, and future employers will likely read this.

While dissappoint, I'm mixed with an eerie calm and, frankly, relieved. It's a shock, but my gut says this event clears the way for better things in the grand plan, that is if you believe in that sort of thing.

Yep, I sit here at Southern Adventures FEC, eating hot dogs and punching out this entry on my trusty Blackberry, contemplating next steps.

Really, I've been longing for the Orlando Florida area for some time. Everywhere I turn, there are Florida license tags, calling. I need to be there, and more importantly with Kimberly, my girlfriend. To have us both in the same city and a fresh start at life would be so wonderful.

Driving around Huntsville, I felt so detached. Lived here eight years and just need new soil to grow. Huntsville is a good city with lots to offer, but my roots reach further than it's pot will allow.

Thank you to my co-workers. I've enjoyed the time with you all and have a much deeper appreciation for GOOD Southern food. You guys turned me on to the awesomeness of buffalo wings, and I'll always be greatful. Will gladly keep in touch.

So what does the future hold? No clue. Hopefully better things. Keep good thoughts. :)
