P608 Lit a Green Candle

That break was long enough. I waited until I had landed a new job which will hopefully last me until retirement. It was a rough set of months in the job market, applying, networking, following up, chasing down recruiters, interviewing, and being given every excuse to not hire me. Finally, a company saw my value and pursued me; that felt validating and I’m back on track.

Health is good, have a job, happy family, new and big adventures coming. I’m all set to pull some cohesive thoughts together for some new mixes. Also, I wiped my free storage to make room for the new, anyone that wants a re-up of an old mix let me know and I’ll take care of it.

I’ll start it off with an easy to digest one. I made this last December when I shut down for a while. Pulled what I was listening to and some new finds off the local indie radio station in town and had this as the soundtrack for date night with my wife as we drove into town for a fine meal and evening walk. In hindsight, I suppose there is some metaphoric meaning in a few of these songs, or specific lyrics that reflected my sadness from losing my previous job. However, this is not all doom and gloom, it’s a rather fun and upbeat (at times) mix that got me re-invigorated to share again.
