New job, no job

Just before we embarked on our Destiny cruise, Diana got an offer for a new job. It's very exciting. She's going to work for the new Blue Man Group location here in town, in another front-of-house role. That means she's leaving DPC after 11 years, an incredible run, but there were a lot of good reasons for the change. It's not the worst thing either when her husband and son are also big BMG fans. The company is now owned by Cirque du Soleil, which seems like a pretty good employer, based of course in Canada.

I, however, am still looking. Admittedly, I wasn't trying very hard for that first month, but that means that I have been looking actively for the nearly two months since. It's rough out there. Granted, the level that I'm at suffers from a certain level of scarcity anyway. It's strangely exhausting to feel a sense of urgency all of the time, when you can only do so much in a day to try and land something new. We have a ton of financial runway, but honestly it's not the money that concerns me. I just want to get back to leading a team of makers. That's satisfying, and gets me up in the morning.

For now I'm spending a few hours a day on TogetherLoop, which I just opened to signups without invitations. Eventually I'll flip it to a subscription model. I have to get to writing that code now though, in case it accidentally gets popular. I don't see a reason why it would, but you never know.
