A Job Lost, A Job Found

Saturday, July 21st, 2007

It’s been a whirlwind few weeks in Tannishburg. On July 9, I was laid off from a struggling company I worked for over the past three years. Too bad; I liked that job. Next came a week of ambiguous Internet job ads and digital red tape, as I emailed strangers and applied to a dwindling list of might-be-interesting positions. This activity netted three interviews.

To my surprise, I was offered a position Tuesday afternoon to start the next morning. This job will apply my skills in a new way, doing something I’ve never tried in an industry I never heard of until now. There’s a lot to learn.

That’s why my blogging has been sparse of late. In readjusting my energies, I’ve had less time to parse a whine out of the newsreels. I’ll get back into it as a routine develops. So please be patient, my three readers; the Tannishness will continue soon.
