Today is an interesting day. Yes, it’s a Monday, but that’s not why it’s interesting. Today marks the 161st calendar day since I started work at Duke Energy. And November 16th, 2009, my first day at Duke Energy, was the 161st day since I had been at my old job. So, I’ve been working for as long as I was unemployed. Wow.
My 5-plus months of unemployment seemed a lot longer than my current 5-plus months of gainful employment. Guess that means I’m enjoying what I’m doing!
I still kind of cringe at the thought of me being unemployed. Sure, I had a lot of time to think, to play golf and to be lazy. But the uncertainty that came along with being unemployed put a unique damper on the period. All in all, I’m very happy doing what I’m doing. I thoroughly enjoy my work, my coworkers and my company. I tend to think my coworkers like me, too!
