Here we go again!

Job hunting.

Faaaaaaaahhhhhhhbulous.

Some stats:

Number of work weeks left in my contract: 11

Number of meltdowns I’ve had thinking about it: 11

Number of drinks I’ll have tomorrow by the pool: 11 (Well, not eleven drinks. Maybe nine? Kidding. Sort of.)

Some good things:

I have transferrable skills.

There’s lots of jobs around the world.

I have a savings account.

I have a lot of contacts (who could know someone who knows someone that needs an expat).

I've been wanting to transition into another area outside of Finance.

It’s a WEE bit harder since I’m kind of a “package deal” now… but since the other half of my package is pretty smart and I’m….pretty, I’m sure we’ll put our heads together and somehow figure something out.

And in the mean time? I have like a GAZILLION things to get done before May so my schedule is going to be jam-packed. AND I still have two vacations to get in!!!

I sound all smiles and rainbows…but yah, I’m a bit worried, but….I don’t think I have much of a choice to just do my best, see what happens, and figure my stuff out as I go. My goal is to have more good days than bad. There is one option in particular that I'm really hoping will work out, since I'm in no rush to leave Madagascar...but like any job search, who really knows. 

Most of all, I have to enjoy the next few months!! It's like, supposed to be all about the journey, not the destination, or whatever, right? I'll have to remind myself that sometime before meltdown number 12... :-)
