Yep, well it's happened again, I'm unemployed. The axe fell last Monday afternoon. It was swift, yet not unexpected. I had told folks as far back as a month ago that I saw it coming. I don't have anything really negative to say about the company. I think they've got a great idea that hasn't been implemented in exactly the right way. They've got a (now almost) unique product that they refuse to do any marketing around. Interesting, that. But the fact remains, I am now out of a job, again. I felt bad for my boss who had to deliver the news. He says he fought for me but it was the co-founders that wanted me gone. My, now ex, boss is a good guy if not the most effective manager.
My resume is up to date and ready to ship. I just need to figure out exactly what it is I want to do. That has always been the $64,000 question. I've been in sales for the past eight years, give or take. Is that where my motivation lies? Should I be writing? Creating? Traveling? How can I get paid to travel? Yep, I'm in a quandry once again. Until I figure it out, I'll do what I always do, scan Monster and the Media Post classifieds. Stay up too late watching bad TV and collect some free cash courtesy of the great state of New York. Looks like I'm on scholarship once again!
If anyone has any great ideas/jobs/open bars/travel plans/suggestions, feel free to drop me a line. I've got some free time to fill in on my calendar.
Cheers!
