planning my escape

Hi Hops! Thought I'd just check in and see how your plans are coming along...

are you - taking a deep breath after having made the decision and gathering up all your energy? writing your resume so that it can be easily edited for multiple kinds of situations? have you considered a head-hunter? (with all your experience it just might be worth it... in time saved you know?)

Does this still feel like the right decision after "trying it on"?

I've kinda noticed something about those cliffs I approach with the idea of jumping off them: objects are closer than they appear and the distance between where I am and where I want to be is a whole lot shorter than it looks, from where I stand. Fun house mirrors, you know?

Anyway, just looking for a short progress report!  ;)

Hi PR,
Basically, it's a yes to each of your questions, except I don't know where to find a headhunter.
Got one application in and much more to do. I find the process is much slower than it used to be. Energy gathering is exactly the problem. But at least having made the decision, I do feel an inner freedom building.

Working on health and house, as well, and have my antennae up for my D. Work has been pretty consuming--this weekend was a "retreat" at Nboss new house. Intense and tiring, but did fine.

I hear ya BIG time on the energy gathering, Hops!  Me too.

But it can be done. Once I figure out what the recipe is... I'll share. (Pls - don't hold your breath!!) Glad you got through the retreat OK. Sometimes those things can get icky. It's in the plus column, I think, that there's no "radioactive fallout".

Headhunters... hmmm. I'm thinkiing a google search... along the lines of: employment agencies  editors (or writers)

Hopalong:
Hi PR...my focus has to be toward a new FT position, not freelancing or PT or contract gigs.
I'm not so much suffering a dearth of ideas as I am struggling to find the will and energy to follow through--resumes, apps, vigilance, making job-hunting the 2nd job after very long days.

I freelance now and then but need salaried rather than supplemental income.
I don't have the energy to cobble together enough freelancing for survival.

Have done it before (wrote a book, ghostwrote, edited a novel, wrote content for and edited dunno how many web sites...)

Mostly I need support for following through!

thanks,
Hops
