Work and Stuff
I found out last week from an anonymous source that the owner of my company is looking to sell. I'm not supposed to know this, and I think only a few people in the office have any idea.
It's kinda nerve racking. I've worked off and on for 3 of his companies, about 10 years of my adult working life. I'm not surprised he wants to retire. I mean, I'd retire now if I could. I know it will probably mean some change though. Could be good, could be not good. Only time will tell.
The CEO, from what I heard, is staying on. I really like him. If he was leaving too, I'd start an aggressive job hunt now. For the time being, I've let a few friends know I'm curious about what opportunities may be out there, but I'm not in a rush.
I've worked mostly from home the last 4 years, and I'm getting tired of it. I love a lot of things about it, but there are downsides. The big ones for me are that I don't get to network with other folks very often, and I don't get to use new technology right away. So even though I hate driving, I've been feeling lonely during the day, bored, sorta stagnant. I've been feeling this way for over a year. I actually went to HR to see what else they could have me do 1.5 years ago.
I found out today that I may get to test the waters. A client needs someone on site for 1 month starting next month. So I'd see if I really want to be in the thick of things or if I really prefer my cocoon. We'll see :)
