A journey

...of 10,000 miles begins with one step..

Or so it is said.

Tomorrow begins the first day (not counting 2 vacation days to take) of not working  for GE again.

Second riff from a company.  I could let that make me feel bad.  But not worth it.  We/I know what has been going on at the company when it comes to healthcare IT.  Everyone in the industry knows.

Product not being sold, many customers gone to other systems.  Much of workforce riffed.   Those considered leadership with out integrity.  Seems like mediocrity can guarantee success.

I knew - I would be gone - was hoping for a couple more years.  But product manager for the RCM product that is not being sold - last product manager to be hired, etc.  So many reasons.  I was not surprised.

Close to retirement.  But not close enough. Not sure what I want to do.  Have done some work - more needs to be done.

I do have two options - that I did not work very hard to find - that more will be revealed about this week.  I think.  The Cerner thing could be a go - they may offer me a job.  They may not - interviewed many and I am sure there were very good candidates.

Dr. Marcies consulting company is also an option.  Going with Cerner for awhile could be very good.  So far - my age does not seem to be a factor.  That I know of.

Who knows? Working another corporate job might be fun and creative after years of being with a firm and product that was treated like the bastard step child.

Making more money could be really good.  Getting the riff severence amount could be good also.

Today - I did something better than I did yesterday - yoga - found a utube beginning routine that I did twice.  I think I can do this - great place - right here so I can watch and listen.  It is good to move.

Today -  three things I asm gratefule for:
  • I am grateful for not being so paniced as last time I was riffed.  
  • For finding the yoga routine on line and for being able to do it twice.
  • For "Downton Abbey" tonight - a great escape view of another time is appreciated right now.
I warmly think of my great freinds and family - my sisters, neices, brother, etc.  I am grateful for Rome mostly.  We are lucky we enjoy such things as fishing and camping.  Espeically fishing - being out in the boat.  We both like MN - though it is challenging. 

I trust that we have planned, saved money and that we will be OK - Rome affirmed as much when I asked him - it does take trusting at times.

Today I did pretty good with WW food management - wrote down food and mostly stayed away from sugar after a very sugared but enjoyable day yesterday.

Reaching out - could have done better on that today.

I did look around - again for what it is I want to do - good thing I am not retireing at the moment - since not sure what all I want to do.

Live at the lake - near a town with healthcare, coffee and art.
Do service.
Take classes - art and writing?
Live in Italy for 2 months -

Sell all property and buy a plave that is ready to go and does not need much maintenance.

What should I write?? 

Tomorrow - look for other jobs, manybe hear from Cerner - schedule discussion with consulting company, ship GE stuff back, do yoga - 

Be better tomorrow -
