Again it was a bit of a slow start. Little things got in the way. You know, the things that usually get in the way of your life, sleeping in, deciding to make breakfast, realizing you have no food, deciding to go to the shops to buy some food, remembering the social indecency of going to the shops in tiny pajamas, thinking it is probably best to shower before getting dressed to go to the shops to buy the food to make your breakfast. Little things.
I have found my new office. It is called the Boulangerie Bon Matin. It is exactly 1 minute 30 from my house if I drag my feet and the sounds of the neighbor clipping her toe nails has been replaced by the quiet hum of people that also don't have jobs getting high on lattes. It has free wifi and I have found that as long as I order a new cup of tea every 40 minutes, the staff seem friendly enough.
The lack of house bound distractions has meant that even after my late start I have finally started to chip away at the metaphorical mountain of job hunting ahead of me. I may not have yet created the interactive CV I dream of (my developer knowledge doesn't quite match my grand strategies, but this is where I start to call in favors from more technically proficient friends) but I have updated my basic CV with all the wonderful things I have done and sent it off to at least one recruiter. It is also now in the hands of one excellent agency who I am sure have been looking for me all their life.
It doesn't hurt to be optimistic. You can always cry later.
