The First Day of The Rest of My Life
Today was the first day of the rest of my life. It’s the first day in five years that I didn’t have to get up to go to the office. I still woke up early – at 7:30am. I was in my new home office by 8:46am and I had already applied for my first job by 10 and by 1:30pm when I stopped for lunch, my head was spinning. I applied for a total of five jobs today. My goal was three so I’m a bit ahead of game and I guess in a way I wore myself out.
But jobs aren’t the only reason I’m getting up every morning. There’s also this blog and the podcasts I listen to everyday. I’m also really enjoying the conversations I’m having on twitter. I’m in the process of arranging coffee and lunch meetings through twitter this week. I’m also attending the FC Club media event this Thursday evening and I have a job interview on Friday so I’m busy. But I am also setting my own schedule and that’s the one thing I really like about this time. It’s not a race – I am still hoping to find something soon though – I want to make the best of this time and to use it to find something really worthwhile.
And at the end of day one I can say it’s going okay.
