It’s Tuesday, and it feels strange to say that today is my first day of being between jobs. There’s something unsettling about it. I’ve got four days off between my old position and my new one, and I’m trying to figure out how to make the most of it. The last time I switched jobs, I wrapped up on a Friday and started the new role the following Monday, which left me feeling completely drained. This time, I’ve learned from that mistake and decided to give myself a bit of breathing room (though with two little ones running around, it’s nearly impossible to do absolutely nothing—but I’m going to try!).
I recently picked up an intriguing book called Crucial Conversations, which caught my eye while I was researching the Five Whys technique. Maybe I’ll take refuge in a coffee shop, enjoy endless chai lattes, and dive into it. Who knows ... I’ll figure it out tomorrow.
On a different note, I reconnected with an old friend today—someone I haven’t spoken to in a while but used to have the most amazing conversations with. He’s the kind of person who tells stories in such an engaging way that they stick with you for years. I still remember a sci-fi story he told me over two decades ago! Our chat today was exactly what I needed—it recharged me in a way I didn’t realize I missed.
