Counting down

8 working days and counting till I'm officially unemployed. I'm so looking forward to getting off the treadmill for a while. I'm hoping it isn't hubris but the job market seems good enough right now that I'm not freaked out about getting another job. I have some focused self-learning I want to do before starting the job hunt, and the severance package should cover this. In the meantime, Thanksgiving is coming up and I'm looking forward to seeing the family.

On a side note, one can definitely tell that the Canadian Thanksgiving isn't the sacred "home for the holiday" event it is down South. Locally there's both a convention and a conference competing for this long weekend time period. If only I could be in 3 places at once.
