Time away...
As I type this I realize I've been out of work for more than seven weeks. During that time Stacey and I spent three weeks out of the country...a week in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and two weeks traveling all over Costa Rica. We spent two weeks celebrating Christmas and New Years with family and now are remodeling our master bathroom. Stacey even learned how to tile a floor. :) I'm surprised to say this but I haven't missed my old job. I haven't missed the work, the deadlines, the pressure, the authority, the commute, etc. I have missed some of my coworkers and friends but overall I just haven't given it much thought. I do miss the routine, having a goal and daily objectives and I do miss adding value, the feeling that I am contributing to something bigger than myself. I go back to work in one week...one week! Where did the time go? And while I'm excited about the next chapter at Lockton, I will miss my closest friend, Stacey. We've been together 31
