Five, yes five work days remain before I am unemployed!  Wow!!  I am so thrilled to be this close.  As I related my thoughts the other day to someone I've known for a very long time, I said I feel like I did the first time I rode a motorcycle at 150 MPH, I am simultaneously mildly terrified and exhilarated.  I'm sure the terror part is temporary, fortunately it is minor terror, well maybe more like mild apprehension.  Actually I am mostly just exhilarated...

The really good news is I made one phone call to a fellow I know in a related industry and asked about some work while I am in transition.  I am pleased to report that he was genuinely happy I called him and said he could keep me busy with his company's extra work or set me up with another friend of his who does commercial Fiber Optic splicing.  Either way, I get a raise and get to set my own day's schedule.  These two things are some of the few things I do miss about contracting.

Ever hear about God opening doors for someone?  Well it seems he is ripping them from their hinges to open a path for me.  My future is as bright as I have ever seen it.  Yes, I am very thankful, I have given thanks, I will always give thanks for the multitude of blessings I receive.  My time from now forward will be used o it's fullest, whether earning a living or looking at the beautiful sunrises and sunsets I will now have time to see.

I have missed far too many of these beautiful west Texas sunsets.  That is about to change.

Cheers!!
