Some of you may know that since December of 2014 I've had remote employment via a tech gig with a small consulting firm. Apparently, I don't anymore.
It's funny. For some time now I've been thinking about my employment. As advantageous as this position may be in facilitating travel with no need to physically be anywhere for work, I find more value in sweating in the sun for ten hours than I do in sitting in front of a computer for eight. I've said this several times to several people in the past weeks. I used to know someone who believed in "manifesting destiny" - e.g., if you want something and say it aloud, it happens. Although I don't believe in such things I have to reflect I said it and it's happened.
I haven't been given any professional reason for termination. Vermont is an at will state and I don't care. I find myself instead looking forward to the next thing. I used to work construction, and I know my old boss would hire me back tomorrow. I'm going to take a few days and think about what I might like to do. Ideally I would end up working for cash on my own terms and I have a few ideas there. I have friends in California now and I can go back there any time. Honestly, I'm not bothered. The more time I spend in this lifestyle the more I enjoy moving on to the next thing, and evidently employment is now among those considerations. Good. I may buy cheaper beer at times, but I have no fear and no regrets.
Everything else goes in the rear view mirror.
