Winding up the month

In hindsight, I'm really glad that I always maintained a specific distance from my Former Day Job. It wasn't the people I worked with, really...it was just that I knew almost from the start that it wasn't a job that I was going to feel any long-lasting dedication towards. (As I've said before, I stayed for as long as I did mainly out of financial comfort. It was a paycheck, that's all.)  When I left, I really didn't feel any sense of remorse or sadness, and I certainly don't think this is a job where I'll have dreams about it, unlike some of my past jobs. And I didn't feel a strong disconnect, either. I got along with my coworkers, but that's all they were. I'm in touch with a very few on LinkedIn, that's all. I don't really feel any sense of loss or emptiness, it just feels like a part of my past that's finally over.

I've spent most of this month just...figuring things out, really. And doing a lot of errands. I put my blogs and the daily words on hiatus, and I even stopped journaling every day. The Enforced Habits (those set up on purpose so I can maintain a moderate level of productivity) were all put by the wayside. I had nothing I wanted to say, really, because I just wanted to stop saying the same things over and over. The only writing I've stayed close to is working on Diwa & Kaffi. The other Possible Next Projects are still there simmering in my brain, but I'm not thinking or working on them at the moment.

Starting soon enough, I'll be doing a bit of creative research online to find my Next Day Job. I'm still not sure what that will be, but I know for sure it's not going to be much like the Former Day Job. Not if I can help it.
