 So, I had quite a productive morning.  I don't think this job search is going to be easy, I'm not sure how leaving the last job is going to impact my relationship with the recruiter in question, who are a major recruiter for the industry.  There are lots of jobs, but I need to find one in the right niche.  That said, I've seen a role that takes me back to an earlier part of my career and is working in a day to day admin rather than projects or "change". 

I hadn't thought of going back to admin, but hey, why not?  It's a senior role, so there will be a team leader to do the formal year people stuff.  I get to work with the team, do cases, checking, training, technical stuff, client stuff.  It's much more sociable than projects and you can be an all rounder.

People, it means being a people person.  Yep.  And really, however much I try to hide it I am.  I make friends, I join communities.  I am liked.

I feel positive without being over excited or bouncy.  It's interesting bringing my own time to this as I can decide what I want to do and what excites me without it being something a recruiter has dropped on the table and wants an answer for.

 So, unemployed day 1.

Technically I'm on pay in lieu of notice.  But still anxiety, stress, wanting to stay in bed.  A friend I haven't seen in over 20 years whose son I share a birthday with messaged me to get up.  So here I am drinking tea and eating sticky porridge.

At the moment there is money and a little to come.  There are debts.  There are jobs to apply for.  There are skills I have, there are things to do.  I've been here before, picked myself up and moved on.

The quiet is all encompassing.  I don't want to put music, podcasts etc on yet.  but the quiet.

And oh god, the lifetime of friends.  the friends.  stepping up.
