Yes, I've joined the ranks of the millions of unemployed Americans in the Obama-nation.
Before I go any further, I have no ill feelings for the Credit Union. Honestly, they did me a favor. After the most trying time in my 16 year tenure, I just lost the will to grow in my job. I'm not blaming anyone, but I was just got tired and I could not fight anymore.
You know you're done when you work for just a paycheck and health insurance. My joy has always been in coming home, playing with the kid and performing on the weekends.
Now I get to turn my life into a cliche and start a new chapter in my life. I've can live comfortably for a few months and decide exactly what God wants me to do next.
Well, anyways, the first stage of grief is denial. I'm pretty sure this is where I'm at now. I feel like I'm on vacation. I switch between the feelings that I don't have to go to work on Monday and oh, crap, I don't have a job.
Now's my chance to start a new adventure. Time to start something new. Can I find a 9-to-5 in this economy? Can I find a job that I can be happy with?
So what's the first thing I did when I got home? I bought an exercise bike. I was going to do this anyways with the money I made taking photographs on the cruise. No real reason to not do this. I really need to increase my cardio and reduce my gut.

Lotsa luck with the job search.
Brother, I was led to your site this morning.
I was doing research on the start of a blog relating a comparison to playing poker,the experience of church membership, following Jesus, the happenings @ www.christisgood.org. This will be my first such excursion. I'm nearly computer illiterate.
I got kLove blaring. Casting Crowns just spoke of building relationships and spreading the Love of Jesus with the one person you are with presently and the 10-15 people you are with today.
So I see you joined the unemployed. You are interested in Low Limit Poker. I might suggest the Chen Coin Flip http://www.playwinningpoker.com/poker/math/variance/
The way to win is to play your best to get that 6-to-5 edge, not on whether you win the flip this hour. And it probably helps to have prayer from a friend and an awesome God on your side.
Adding your site to my Favorites,
Good "luck" to you, Al
Jethro
