    Last Day on the Job ... on to New Adventures (again)

    After 3+ Years (1 as an Independent Contractor, 2+ as full-time), it's the last Day on the gig for the Empire - as Sr. Business Strategy Consultant (Director Level 65) ... tying up all loose adminstrative ends right now

    • Knocked it outta the park, as usual, on the last client
    • Put in a 3-week notice the Monday of WMC ... ended up staying 4 weeks, by request
    • Not leaving for a new gig, and haven't looked for one, or even sent out any resumes ... wanted to finish strong w/o the distractions (responding to emails, calls, interviews, etc.) that often come with looking for a new gig
    The gig future is excitingly unknown

    ... what is known is Softball Seasons start Sunday, and I just put in an application to be a Substitute Teacher in a local school system (to keep me occasionally busy, and off DHP from time-to-time) ... hopefully I'll get an interview

    LOL

    Good job. You started down this road during my first month of grad school. Great things have occurred ever since we spoke on this.

    Enjoy the journey!
    As for the charges against me, I am unconcerned. I am beyond their timid lying morality, and so I am beyond caring.

    Best of luck to you in your new endeavors, Dave! I've said this before but I've always admired you and the positive motivation you so obviously put into everything you do. I'm sure your future will be even brighter than the past. And I'll try not to be jealous the next time you post a first class boarding pass....;) You do floss well. LOL
    You'll have to excuse me. I'm the product of a broken disco.

    ... all I did was apply to be a Substitute - I've subbed before long ago, during work downtime (was fun and exhausting) ... I didn't not check the box that asked if I was interested in being a PT or FT Teacher
