missmavenThis Dec has been hard for me emotionally. I'm coming up on the one year anniversary of getting laid off from ASI, and while this year was a roller coaster of possible new jobs I'm currently working a contract that ends on Dec 28th with no (currently) solid leads on the horizon.
(I'm sure I'll get some. Jan and Feb tend to be a hot bed of activity as the new year's budgets get approved. So I'm hopeful. Ever hopeful.)
This means for the second year in a row Dec has been hard. I've been very fiscally conservative in a month of massive gift giving AND I also got all the ups and downs of putting myself out there on the job market to be summarily ignored over and over again. I'm sure that kinda thing doesn't do much to stoke the holiday spirit for anyone.
My moods have been as one might expect, up and down. I want to thank everyone who's reached out to check in and see how I'm doing. It's meant a lot. Merideth, Casey, and Praxx have done a great job of being supportive, indulging my festive traditions, and trying extra hard to bring the holiday cheer themselves. Especially Praxx, who is normally such a Grinch this time of year.
