Well, it seems that the employed are back to work after recovering in January from a long holiday break. Either that or they are just now are getting UN-buried from the work that slipped away during the holidays. At any rate, those adding employees to their companies seem to be calling now. January was a rather slow month in regards to hearing from companies and this week things have really picked up. I am now getting calls daily about possible opportunities. (This is good.) I hate not working and not hearing from people.
So, to all those people who told me to try and enjoy some of my time off, I am. (This is the first time in nearly 7 years that I have not been working.) It feels weird and I want to work again. I actually enjoy working and helping people out where I can, but I am enjoying some of the down time.
The other thing I discovered on my time off? How little money I need to spend on a daily basis and how much I was spending. (Ouch).
Oh well, this time off has been a good learning experience. (Trying to figure out what I can do, what I will do, and what I won't do for a living.) I know that I do not want to work fast food, be a door greeter or a receipt marker at the big box stores, do tele-marketing, sell insurance, or drive a truck for a living.
At this point, relocating is also not an option. I have had 2 offers to do that and I am not interested in moving. I own a home in town, my friends are here, and my family is within 2.5 hours of me. So, I am not willing to move to Bloomington, IL or Auburn Hills. : (
Call me crazy, but I like it here in GR.

I also have been noticing how much money I DON'T spend when I'm not working ... Seems like all I buy for me these days is a couple of mochas a week (maybe) and a pack or two of cloves. Very little gas, only an occasional lunch, no clothes or shoes (but it's only been three months!).
Good to hear you're getting calls, Good luck.
