OK, unemployment is good for blog posts

The gig I've been on since November 2018 finally ended Tuesday. Pretty good run, considering it was supposed to end about a year ago Tuesday. Anyway, I liked it. Paid well, and I met some good folks, including a bunch I never actually met -- they were in the European offices of the firm I was at. Anyway, the Wuhan flu has killed my industry's job market just as I re-entered it. I believe that is the definition of poor timing. In any event, the D.C. unemployment system is overwhelmed with new claims, so I am still trying on that front. In the meantime, I have taken on some freelance writing. We'll see how things go, but with time on my hands, I'm afraid you'll have to put up with more blog posts from me. Thanks for dropping by.

So, my unemployment comes to an end. Sort of.

I haven't talked about it much, but I have been largely unemployed since the end of March. This would explain, of course, the near-complete lack of work-related posts. I worked for 10 days at the end of April, but basically I have been unemployed for six of the seven weeks since April 1. Not pleasant, trust me. There has been an unfortunate combination of not many projects available and not being selected for those projects that were available.

But no more. I have a project, starting tomorrow. And ending tomorrow. It is a one-day project. On the upside, the rate is decent. On the downside, well, it's only one day. Hope it leads to more
