Well, it has been a year of change that is for sure.
This past year has been replete with getting accustomed to dealing with all manner of obstacles and challenges for me.
The pandemic thankfully has missed infecting me this year. I count my blessings for that. I spent a whole lot of time inside the air conditioning system of my lake house to avoid it. However, I also lost my job. The supplier I worked for contracted a great deal as a result of the economic downswing. My job was eliminated as the executive management staff was gutted in a cost chopping move. So not only did I lose that perfectly Heating and A/C controlled corner office, I had no where to go due to the pandemic. This led to plenty of introspection. I’m a guy in his 50’s who is most likely never going to find employment making anywhere near my old salary. And forget the perfectly Heating and A/C tested corner office. This truth led me to another truth. I was too young to just call it a job and I was expert in my field. So I decided that I would go out on my own. That meant starting a consulting business of my own. While I had a unbelievable severance package, it wasn’t enough to go out and rent office space. So I decided to turn a guest room into a common office. And I chose to have a ductless mini split installed by the local repair provider. This way, I would still have that perfectly Heating and A/C controlled office. Just not the view.
