For those who haven’t heard yet, I lost my job yesterday. My former bank just wasn’t making enough deals. I had been getting a full forty (40) hours, while I watched the other temps get a day here and there, some even every other week. I knew I had been lucky.
My immediate response was to update my résumé, but I didn’t have focus to do so. I will get it done at some point this weekend, so that I can get a jump on the week. I can’t afford to take a break. I just was not prepared for this.
Time to dust off my old contacts. Missed a great networking opportunity, being asked to speak at an event which I forgot to RSVP for. I will hit the next one. Hopefully, I will be invited to speak again. I think it will be good for my personal growth as well.
I think the worst part of all of this will be telling my son that I am out of work again. I was looking forward to Christmas this year and spoiling him a bit more than usual. He deserves it! I will have to postpone it.
I would like to toast the future. Whatever it may be, I am looking towards it.

My best friend could be considered someone I have positively influenced. She is doing so well for herself. While she may wish to give me credit, I feel she did all of the heavy lifting.
Her mother who always told her she was going to ruin her life and that she would never pay for her to go away to school is now telling people how proud she is of her… hypocrite.
She got a full scholarship from the school and several others. I am so proud of her.

I just bought this a little over a month ago. I think I got a good deal, since it was bundled with a telephoto lens in addition to the kit lens. I love it. I still use my S80 from time to time, but it just doesn’t match my XSi.
I am still learning how to use it. I can’t take a shot without IS to save my life, not yet anyway. I want to take pictures as a hobby, so I am open to learning. Any photographers want to give me advice? I am very open to it.
Check out my Photostream and leave some comments, criticism… when you get a chance.
