Mood:  sad

My job-hunting has reached a standstill. Or, I should say, it never really began. I want to get at least a couple more recommendations on LinkedIn, but I'm procrastinating on that too. The truth is, I don't feel too motivated to search while receiving my severance. But I have to at least start looking. I filled in more details about my Cupid position on LinkedIn and made a list of every duty I performed during my employment there. That's a good start, at least. After making the list, I was pleased at how many items were on it (in fact, I couldn't post the whole thing on LinkedIn because it exceeded the character limit!). I sure did get a lot of experience with one job. However, it would have been nice if I'd gotten experience doing builds as well; I probably would have done a few had I swiftly agreed to return when they asked me. Oh well. I'll take a look at what's out there; surely someone in this area is looking to hire a mid-level ASP.NET developer!

Mood:  hungry

What a different 2 weeks it's been. I'm not used to having so much spare time. I still think about my co-workers a lot, and wonder how the ones still at RHW are holding up. I wonder if they're still going to have a Halloween costume party and a Thanksgiving pot-luck lunch. I certainly miss that place. It's sad how things turned out. The year started off with so much excitement and anticipation, and is ending with a closed office (well, now I hear that the few remaining employees are staying until February).

And, how are they going to keep Cupid going with no developers and, in 2 weeks, no designer? I offered my contact to the Toronto guys should they have any questions about the site's operation/maintenance. That's the best I can do for them right now. I still care about the site and would hate to see it go down. Yes, I know I should be trying to forget about Cupid and move on to new ventures. It'll happen eventually...
