Well, the job search is still in progress. I’m still getting numerous solicitations for contract positions around the country, but Amanda and I have decided that we’re not quire desperate enough to separate our family for the duration that it would require (2-6 months), and most of them are not lengthy enough to want to relocate for either (max is typically 12 months).
Aside from
those, I’m also getting solicitations for full-time positions in parts of the
country that I have no desire to live, such as the Detroit, MI area, Tucson, AZ, the Los Angeles. area, etc. Again, we’re not
quite financially desperate enough yet to want to move somewhere that we don’t think we'll enjoy living
in.
I am realizing that there are many
improvements I need to make in my daily routine though, including:
- Be more dedicated to searching around and spending less time responding to solicitations.
- Create a schedule and stick closer to it (I originally had planned to do this, but did not follow through).
- Set aside more time to work on professional development projects (relearning “C”, relearning Verilog, designing a PCB, etc). This is challenging not only in the prioritization of time, but also in deciding which task to spend time on.
In addition to
the job search and professional development, time also needs to be spent in
requesting forbearance for our mortgage (a ridiculously lengthy process),
and looking at health insurance options.
