I wanted to keep a record of this correspondence because I think it is very representative of many things I like about being me. Exactly what though I'm not sure.
***********************************************
Look To Monday/ Tuesday at the latest for the letter. I am finished at our old Company and I've faded away with a whole ration of mixed emotions. Oddly enough I'm not that disappointed. Of course I miss the people I worked with and the daily interaction, but as for the business itself, the course was definitely run and one way or another, the end had been scripted. I guess we all have our own designs on how an ending should play out, but I think we can universally recognize the signs....and they were certainly everywhere. Who wants to work in that kind of environment?
As to what I am doing...the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker! Who knows? I have a little money saved and of course 23 years brought me a respectable severance package, so the family won’t starve anytime soon (though at my size I could use a little starvation in my life.) I guess I AM looking for a job because that is what I should be doing, but I'm on a mental hiatus and actually enjoying it quite a bit. I've started my own blog (right here)...definitely the work of a rookie, I need to learn more on this topic. I think I might also get into pod-casting...it intrigues me, I've painted some around the house and completed some projects that my wife has been after me for a while to get done. I bought a van so I can take my daughter around and get her out of the house and I try to get in a Guinness or 2 at least once a week. I suspect I will go through phases. Right now I’m in my laid back, let’s see where it all goes” phase and looking to really get back into the Irish Language. I can’t find anyone local to speak with though. I’m also going back to Dublin in September with my son and really looking forward to that. So, all in all, it is not a bad life post CEF. Let’s see where my mind is at in six months.
And obviously I have time to write long winded notes to my former colleagues who have jobs and no time to read them!
Enjoy and be blessed!

Hi Gary:
If you have time....yes, please put that Irish gift of gab to work on my
letter, but only if you have time, I don't want it to be an imposition....It
has to be a glowing review though, ha ha. And, of course I will list your
cell phone for the reference. Are you finished at our old Company? Are you looking for
a new job or taking some time off?
I miss seeing you and talking with you, so we will have to meet sometime for
a beer or something! I appreciate your daily wisdom because I can't believe
my boys are starting first grade! Seems like just yesterday they were little
babies. We try and remember that as you can tell how much they just love to
have you hang out and spend time with them, even if it is just playing a
game or something.
Thanks for your quick response, I really appreciate it.
Keep in touch,
Jersey Girl Teresa
