Long time no see

You know it's been a long time when...
- I can't remember the blog address or password
- I have so much to write I don't know where to start
- it's already Christmas...

Sorry about the long wait, folks, I have been busy.
- at work
- preparing for Xmas
- out of work.
Yeah, I lost my job - I love that expression: where the hell did I put that job? Lost it again!
Good severance, time to do stuff I like before job hunting. I started on a project a friend had been holding like a carrot in front of my nose for a long time. It feels great.
I gotta tell you this: I went to the job placement agency the company hires for us (I was laid off as part of a reorg with a bunch of others): I felt like the girl was criticizing me for not being helpless or needy. She wants to help me, damn it, and I am not looking for help. Yet... I will see it her way. I was enthusiastic about anything that did not require me to drive back into town: oooh, you have databases? remote access? nice.
I am not good with long blogs - let's go to the next one.
