The end...and the beginning

My last day was April 15th. On March 4th, there were 22 people in my group. On April 1st, there were 7 and on Monday, April 18th, there are 2. The workload has not changed.

It was extremely difficult to say good-bye to such a talented group of people. People who I trust and respect. There are going to be reunions, we're all on LinkedIn and who knows, I may end up working with a few of them again.

But it won't be the same, those days have ended.

It is now time to move forward. Time to harass the recruiters (have you heard anything yet?), to spend time on Monster every day, to continually update resume, to draft cover letters, to phone screen with people and go through the interviewing process.

People have told me that I am lucky, I should be considering this a paid vacation. It's not a vacation, job searching is hard work and time consuming. But these are the necessary steps for me to begin the next chapter in my life - my new beginning.
