Day 15 - LAST DAY OF VACATION

THE CLUB
This was my last day of "I am not really looking for work" week. I really enjoyed taking the time off and regrouping. So I went to the health club today and decided to revisit the step aerobics class that has been brought back from the 1990's. Now it is called "Classic Step" and guess what ... I felt like I was in a time warp. Not only did the instructor, who taught it the first time around, lead the class but she did not bother to update the music. I found myself doing steps like "around the world" and "the weave" to songs such as Salt N Peppa (I think that is how she spelled it) Pump it Real Good and Eye of The Tiger (from Rocky). What a nightmare, I barely liked those songs the first time they came out.

I then decided to shower and go into the dry sauna and chill out. I was enjoying the quiet, until a woman joined me. As I was laying down and trying to relax, I heard the slathering of unending lotion squishing across her skin. I figured this would last a minute or two ... but I swear it went on and on and on... so much for relaxing. I left the sauna and she was still applying it... I hope she has soft skin.

GETTING READY FOR REALITY

I have reached the time where I have to officially start the job search. I have played around, cleaned up and been in denial for a few weeks now. I have picked up my suit from the cleaners, signed up for outplacement, unemployment, COBRA and updated my resume... it's time. Stay tuned to next week as I actually talk about the job search. Wish me luck and hope this blog does not last too long. Have a great weekend.

REALIZATION - It is time to get focused and find a great next opportunity.
