Project done, moving on

So, today is the last day of my contract project position. It’s worked out well and it was great to get a paycheck again! I also have the project with my former employer lined up and should be starting that soon, hopefully sometime next week. I’m not sure how long it will take, but I’ll take anything right now, especially with this employer.

During the five weeks I was on this contract, I went through an interview process for a position I can only describe as ideal. I would have loved this work and enjoyed the working environment tremendously. The past tense of the last sentence should indicate that I didn’t get it. I was very disappointed when I found out this past Wednesday, but I’m getting better about it. Everyone I’ve talked with about it says that everything happens for a reason. I don’t disagree, but in matters relating to working, I’m not very patient, so I’d like whatever the reason is to show itself sooner rather than later. I know it will work out in the end and given that I left my old job at the end of May and had several interviews (and now this contract position) I’m not complaining, just impatient.

I find it interesting that I was not blogging during my time on the contract position, but I was actually busy with home-related things when I’d get done with work (I should point out that the office where I worked is three miles from my house). This included my training for the Walt Disney World Marathon in January. I had to start running in the late afternoons and it was a bit of an adjustment, but I got used to it. I will enjoy going back to running in the mornings on Monday and I hope to be able to keep doing that during this next project. If not, late afternoons aren’t so bad.

Hopefully, I’ll be able to blog more, too, but we’ll have to see, I guess.
