I wish I could say and 'loving it!'. Actually it's not too bad. If I think about my last post about Gratitude and my question about how I can spend my 37.5 hrs/week, it is a bit ironic. I now have lots of time to figure it out. And of course I still have Gratitude. More than ever. After almost 12 years at MGIC, I was laid off last week. It came to no surprise because of the market, but still a shock none the less. I grew up in the mortgage industry, it's where I began my career. I learned so many things. I became a troubleshooter, a programmer, an analyst, a presenter, and a co-worker. I put myself through MSOE with an undergrad and a graduate degree. I got many promotions and a co-worker bonus. I moved out for the first time and bought a condo. I have so many memories that are part of my time at MGIC that it's been sad to say good bye. I move forward with those memories and most of all the experiences I've learned from and the people I became friends with. I will miss the work-out classes, the convenient cafeteria, taking breaks, and starbucks! I will also miss the events we had on the MGIC Plaza. Who doesn't like a free lunch!? I might even miss doing the silly 'jazz hands' for the camera. Even though I'm a little teary-eyed from thinking about what I'm going to miss, I don't forget what I won't miss. Yes, that list is long too....
Instead I'll leave you with my linkedin profile:

And my last jazz hands!
