"Turn off the movie and update your blog."

Thats the heading of an email I received today.

It's one of 75 emails I've received from friends and co-workers from the past, so they know what's going on. I started this blog for that purpose, so I guess I should get to it.

Although technically my last day at work was January 31, I was told by my boss to take it off, as my "Floater" day. So, I did. There was no "Thank you" from the General Manager, who I had worked for since the beginning, no acknowledgment that I was leaving, or for that matter, that I had done anything of note in that entire time. It's like the 10 years was a waste of my time. I left with nothing to show for it. Am I bitter? No. I know what I accomplished in my time, and I truly hope other people noticed as well.

Since I left, I really haven't done much. I've slept, read some books, and have been trying to decide what I want to do with the rest of my life. Tomorrow I go to visit some friends and have an informal job interview, but I've been taking it easy mostly. I leave for California March 31, and will be going to a taping of THE PRICE IS RIGHT on April 2nd. Nicole and I are doing it for kicks, but I've been studying prices just in case we are picked. I'm getting good at converting Canadian dollars into US, but sometimes I forget to carry the 2.

As things get going, this will be updated more and more.
