Disengaging

So I scheduled my exit interview with the HR person and left a message for my manager asking when and where I can return my gadgetry. Needless to say, I didn't get around to doing it last week, but given I have until the end of the month...what's the big hurry? Well, it's getting pretty close to the end of the month, so...

...it is also getting close to SUPER BOWL SUNDAAAAYY-ay-ay!
Typically, I don't get excited about sports or sporting events, but I'm all about the secondary social aspect of such functions, so I am looking forward to getting together with a bunch of friends and hanging out. I usually just cheer when someone does something cool...doesn't matter which team they're on to me. It'll be nice to see a wider cross-section of my circle of friends and get back in touch with folks I haven't seen in a long time.

I need to find a career I really like and that makes me happy.
Just thinking about how little I am looking forward to what I would refer to as elements of responsibility and the contrast between these and other, more rejuvenating elements in my life that I find just as productive, but have yet to spin into gold.
Seems to me like a slight shift in perspective may be in order, but I also want to be careful of brainwashing myself into a less functional mindset.

At any rate, clearly there is more work to be done. I could make a list, but I'm not going to do it here and now. I've set a soft target at the end of the month for when I will begin making harder targets in order to keep things together here and we're not there yet.

I wouldn't say I've definitely got a job just yet, so no need to curse me dear. ;)
So, suffice it to say I'm also battling anxiety about being gainfully unemployed due to the impending expiration of the gainful element of said unemployment. Hence, I am also looking forward to being able to hammer out the details of that possibility so I know weather I'll be looking again, signing up for unemployment or what.
