Spent the day applying to jobs, mostly positions related to what I’d been doing for the past 16+ years.

I’ve scoured through hundreds (maybe thousands) of postings and applied to over 80. Had 5 interviews this week. 2 more are already scheduled for next week.
This weekend I’m giving myself a break from searching. Instead I’ll work on my resume to get it into a format that passes through the ATS. I’m working with a staffing agency in Ocala for this. The guy is even sent resources for short term housing.

I interviewed with a former vendor and was essentially hired on the spot. One of the ladies is retiring at the end of the year so they need someone in right away to be trained. They’ll send the offer letter early in the week. I can haggle if needed. Then we’ll have a week or so to find temporary housing and start the moving process.

@BrandNewMe maybe in a crazy roundabout way the universe took away one job to give you a better one. Fingers crossed you go on to be happy there

Busy packing still… so difficult for just the two of us sorting through everything. We’re leaving on Friday and there’s so much left to do. Sofi is packed and ready for me to resume the process in Florida.
Didn’t get as much for the as expected so that’ll limit our options to buy. We do have a rental in Cocoa but no move in date yet. The current tenant hasn’t left.

A lot of information to absorb at the new job. I don’t know how much will be retained until I have at least a computer (no desk yet either) so I can actually do something. It’s kinda boring just observing.
Monday afternoon I finally received word on our move in date… not until the 16th! This week I’ve been staying at our timeshare. It’s 1-1.5 hours to drive to work but 2+ hours to drive home. At the end of the day I’m hungry, tired, and blinded by the headlights at night… this isn’t a good combination.
