In Oprah We Trust

Just three months shy of my 49th birthday ... I find myself ... suddenly ....(whispering) jobless.

That is - (whispering) without a job.

That is - free to sleep in until noon .... every ... single ..... day.

That is - available to catch Oprah .... every ... single ..... day.

That is - telling people that "I'm on a break" - giving the illusion that it was my choice and I'm sooooo cool & in control of my fabulous life. ..

wtf? How the hell did this happen???

Looking back, I thought I was a pretty competent Project Manager coming into the role a year and a half ago (transferring from Waterloo to Mississauga). My boss treated me with respect, provided very timely feedback and gave me every opportunity to succeed - but in the end - I just couldn't do it despite giving it my all.

Could this mean that perhaps I'm not the greatest PM this side of the Mississippi? Could this mean that I should look in another direction???

Yikes!

Oh - gotta go - Oprah's on in a bit...

Stay tuned.... More to come...
