there has been a recent major turn of events in regard to my current career. the company i have worked for for the past 4 years has severed the contract that it has with the company we provide services to. as a result, we will no longer be providing technical services to it as of the middle of august. this fact, in turn, has facilitated my kicking my casual job search into high gear. i have hinted in the past about "riding it out" and "seeing where this takes me" and it appears i have both rode it out, and have seen where this has taken me. it's unfortunate on many levels, but such is the nature of the business, especially in the area of IT and how contracts work with outsource providers. that said, i have several "irons in the fire", "plates in the air" or whatever other cliche' one might want to use. i'm looking inside, outside, high, and low to try and determine what makes sense for me and my family. i'm definitely not one to panic, and i'm not, however, you can imagine the anxiety and stress that one endures while trying to maintain a professional demeanor at work while continuing with a business as usual approach, and looking for a long term employment at the same time.
i'll also be heading to michigan this week to participate in a rather ill-timed IT all-hands meeting with my current employer.
much more to come
