Several months ago, I learned that I was going to get laid off due to a reorganization in Residential Education at Stanford. Long story short: jobs were being eliminated, other jobs were being created, I applied for one of the new positions and was not offered a second round interview. The end result is that I am getting paid out three months of vacation that I had accrued and four months of severance. I think I'll find a way to manage.
I've always had mixed feelings about blogs. I think it would be fun and interesting to keep one, but I never read anyone else's except on occasion. It seems a bit conceited to think that other people would spend their time reading about me. On the other hand, it is nice to be in a position where I can answer the question, "What's new with you?" with something other than, "oh, more of the same - work, soccer, music." If nothing more, this will be a good way to keep track of the things I spend/waste my time doing the next seven months.
Well, since this is my first post, I'll keep it short. If you are reading, thanks for reading. I'll try to keep things interesting - though that's more for me than for you.
