2,920 days (give or take)

Today, after 8 years of employment, I finish up my last day at my job. This is the second time in my life being laid off from a job/company. The last layoff in 2003 lead me to this job which worked well for our family. For that, I am grateful. It also allowed me to become friends with a really awesome person, so I am grateful for that as well.

It is time for reflection and soul-searching. This year I will turn 40 so I have some existential musings going in my head. So far I only know what I do NOT want to do with the bulk of my weekday breathing hours. Hopefully the proverbial windows will open now that this door is shut and a path will shine before me so that I may travel upon it.

I guess I still have to figure out what I want to be when I grow up ☺

The most interesting people are 40 and have no clue! All will fall into place.
