There Is The Truth, and Then There Is The Truth

I have not had much to say here, sorry about that if anybody has stopped by. The truth is that I have indeed had a lot to share, mostly about my continued job search. I certainly don't have anything to hide, but I am conscious of the line of what you present to the world on line and what is best kept off the internet. All of this is nothing negative but to somebody that does not know me or happens across this, it could all be taken the wrong way.

Truth is, things have not been going well. What has gone well is the amount of diligence that I have created and the database of opportunities that I maintain. I have generated a lot of information - it's overwhelming in fact, but in a very good way. I have been fortunate in that I have been able to leverage a lot of connections to open doors and provide some good guidance. All of that is good, however, when it comes to closing the deal, I am still falling short. That is the hard part. I have been so close recently that it is just heartbreaking to recount. I have thought about just laying it all out here for the world to read as it unfolds but that could be a bit much. No doubt that it would certainly represent a day in the life and give a perspective on what my days entail, but it could all be taken the wrong way.

So here I am. End of March empty handed. Yes, I know. You are thinking of all the positive platitudes that people normally say. Things will turn around. You will find something. You don't have anything to worry about. You will find the right job. Things happen for a reason. Fact is, all of that makes you feel a whole lot better than it does to encourage me.

The truth is that it will get better when it gets better. In the meantime, I believe you are doing the best you can with determining what better looks like and finding balance where you can.

Trying to be encouraging and falling short, sucks too. Love you big, mean it.
