The Game Plan

As I posted earlier, I have always thought that if I got laid off or fired, I wouldn't be one of those people that just starts watching TV.

I now realize that it is not that easy to be motivated...

So, that's where this blog comes in.  I plan on laying out some habits and areas of focus.  By having to post to the world what I am working on, I will have to make progress.  So here are some ideas I am kicking about.  I am going to spend the next couple days flushing my ideas out and making  a plan for progress.

Ideas so far:

Employment
- Bonus Recovery - I was fired before bonus payout, so I am not entitled to last year's bonus.
- New Job - Already looking

Skills and Hobbies
- Mardi Gras Costume - Mardi Gras is closing in, and my costume is still a pile of feathers.
- Mandarin - I like learning Chinese. Even though I am not traveling to China any more, I will continue my studies.
- Hats - I want to learn to make fancy hats.
- Tango - Recent addition to skills.  I need a lot of improvement.


Side Income
- Computer Programming - Sharepoint, Word Press, etc. all seem to be in demand
- Louisiana Professional Engineers License - Need to transfer from Alabama

Saving Money
- Handy work - We are closing on a house in March, it has issues, I need cheap labor (me).
- Other - To be determined

Fitness and Health
- Exercise - Its time to lose weight and get in shape
- ETC - I used to have a great routine.  I gave that up to work 11 hour days.

Education - In case I decide I need them to get a new job!

- MBA

- MSChE
