2 weeks later.

I have been gainfully unemployed for two whole weeks now, and I have to honestly say I feel about about a bajillion times better than I did a month ago.  I have virtually no stress, I'm working out, eating well, am well-rested, and my house is clean.  The Fiance and I are having conversations around the dinner table instead of eating like zombies after 8 pm every night.  I'm HAPPY, and I hadn't even realized how unhappy I was before.  This is all so completely for the best.

My job search is going swimmingly.  I have multiple prospects that I have found on my own, as well as several that I have found through headhunters.  There have been interviews and second-rounds - even a thrid round on Thursday.  A couple dings, of course, but all in all, I feel confident that I am in the process of bouncing back.  Optimism is the name of the game. 

Many thanks to everyone who has reached out to wish me luck and positive vibes.  I am incredibly lucky to not only have these opportunities, but the support of so many friends and internet peeps.  Thanks all!  Keep those crossables crossed!

  3. So glad to hear about all the optimism!! I had recently left a crappy job for something less stressful and people around me even noticed how much happier I was in my personal life.
    It makes a big deal!

    Good luck with your continued job search!

    Also, Andrew and I will be in St. Louis this weekend. We are staying at the Hyatt Regency on the Riverfront. Seems like a lovely hotel. (I love Hotwire.com) Anyway... got any good recommendations on places to eat or things to do? We'll be there Sat-Mon!
