A lot going on with the family:
- Sold Donna's practice to the hospital, she now is employed as Medical Director, Associate Clinical Professor, and Physician Champion. (impressive right!)
- Older daughter is applying to college, we did a one week tour of schools in the Washington DC area this summer, 8 schools in 5 days. She wants to major in Political Science or Government, and that is the place to be for those fields.
- Younger daughter doing very well in school, playing on the middle school soccer team, riding her horse, and participating in many horse shows.
- Besides being a groom for my younger daughter and her horse, I have started building a saltwater reef aquarium in the spare bedroom, and have done a lot of do-it-yourself projects around the house.
And of course, I have been looking for a job.
I made a conscious decision to put the search on the slow burner back in 2009. This allowed me to enjoy some time to be home with the kids, tackle tasks around the house, and work with my wife on making her practice an even better organization then it already was. I was not overflowing with job opportunities, and it made sense not to stress too much about getting right back to work, as my situation allowed for some leeway.
Once we sold Donna's practice, Reality (with a capital R) hit me over the head, and I knew the time had come to get back into the "real world". It had been almost 2 years at that point, and that was enough of a break for anyone. So I plunged head first back in, calling, writing, emailing, applying; all the things one does when searching for a job.
So where I am now? Lots of applications, many phone interviews, some in person interviews and a couple of job offers that really did not fit the description of the opportunity as originally presented, or really did not fit with what I wanted to do next.
So basically.. still unemployed..
More to come..
