Sunday

November 5, 2023, Sunday evening, 6:59pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. Today was the equivalent moment I was laid off from my job in Phoenix. 10 days short of 15 months. Which means I have officially worked this job longer than that one. I thought about this moment a lot the past two months. Now that it has arrived, it is anticlimactic. There really isn’t much to note except its finally passed. At least I can now say this job is the longest tenure of my operations career. That counts for something. Today was very nice. To begin, I forgot about daylight savings time ending so I enjoyed an extra hour of sleep. Then I walked and worked out, grocery shopped, did laundry, showered, took the company car in for service, got a haircut, returned items to the mall, bought clothes, walked around the mall, drove out to Aliso Viejo, went for a walk with the dog, ate dinner and returned to Dana Point. It was an extremely productive day. Yet, I can still think of a dozen of things I wished I had done in addition to my adventures. When all is said and done you simply cannot have it all. You will always enjoy what you have and want that which you currently do not possess.
