Well, this is a big day, at least emotionally.\u00a0 My opportunities to find another job with HP have come to an end and I’ll be formally terminated today.<\/p>\n

I can honestly say that I’m not upset about this.\u00a0 Instead, it’s just the final acknowledgment that I need to say goodbye and move on with my life.<\/p>\n

I’m incredibly lucky, actually.\u00a0 Despite an interesting bout with a crown falling off my tooth Monday – got that all fixed up yesterday – I have my health and as many mental faculties as I’ve ever had.\u00a0 More important, I have an incredible range of friends, colleagues, and supporters.\u00a0 It’s amazing how much of a difference that makes for getting through the day.<\/p>\n

And for the moment, I have a lot of energy and ideas.\u00a0 Here’s the current priority list:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Complete the HP termination process.<\/li>\n
  2. Continue to monitor local job listings, looking for opportunities in business management, product line innovation, organizational effectiveness, and coaching.<\/li>\n
  3. Contact companies which deliver coaching as a primary service, to see if they’d be interested in hiring me as a coach.<\/li>\n
  4. Start developing the idea that I would independently consult on business planning\/operations\/effectiveness, connected with organizational coaching.<\/li>\n
  5. Explore an idea I had on coaching around sacred liturgical music.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    But in order to do these effectively, I’ll have to close off a number of action items which are buzzing around my head, inbox, and task list.\u00a0 I’ve been kind of letting that slide in the last three weeks, so I have to get back to being organized.<\/p>\n

    And today, my wife and I are going to start swimming regularly – a bit of damage was done to the diet while we were on vacation.\u00a0 But it was such a great time with our daughter!<\/p>\n
