After nine years in the IT field I am embarking on a new and exciting direction. A direction that will help redefine who I am. A direction that will use my skills, talents, and personality more completely. What direction am I going? I have no idea but thanks to the immortal (and now deceased) George Harrison, I have this lyric to apply to my current state, “If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there.”

I am standing at the precipice of the unknown and enlivened by the opportunity to engage in new challenges as of yet foreign to me. It is truly thrilling to me that I am given the choice to change directions after 12 years of serial employment, but the downside of all this is my lack of recent experience in hunting for employment. Consider the rust of 12 years a possible governor to my zeal, keeping me from engaging in the hunt as a veteran hunter rather than a relative novice. After all, that which we hunt is still the same animal but the tools and techniques have been augmented by the continued assimilation of technology into every facet of our lives. In other words, I need to relearn how to search for a job and what I am looking for. Remember if you don’t know where your going(don’t have a clue what you want) any road will take you there.

Well, this is of course a great way to re-engage my writing on this blog. For those who may be reading, I appeal to your experience, your knowledge, and your guidance. Like a good recipe, the outcome all depends on the journey taken to it not the attainment of the finished product. If you show little care to the process, then your outcome will surely be crap.
