Too Many Balls in the Air
First off, thanks to Booga Bill for spreading the news about my "between jobs" situation. Reference Comments and edit from last post...
I've never been presented with so many opportunities at once when it comes to employment. I worked at my last job for almost 11 years, and prior to that, at the bank for 4 years. The jobs just flowed from one to another without a lot of struggle in between. Now, I'm faced with the decision to go back to something "old", try something unfamiliar and new, or take the "in between" route. I may be taking a pay cut, but at the moment, I'm looking at the "in between" as the most viable choice -- mostly for location, but also to work with folks who already know my style. It should be fun and I'll get to know the Baltimore area more.
Very early Friday morning, while suffering a brief emotional breakdown, I wouldn't have imagined all the support I've received from family and friends. I'm lucky to have made an impression on many folks who want to create opportunities for me and my skills.
It's after noon and I'm still in my PJ's. I have some a library book to return, so maybe I'll head out and enjoy the sunshine while I can. :-)

Jal, you should ask yourself this question...
What do I want to be when I grow up?
While I realize you're all grown up, the point of the question is very relevant. As you said, now might be the time to try something new.
A friend that was downsized the same day I was, left IT after 15 years and became a high school math teacher. The pay is a little less but he loves the hours, environment, and the kids.
Told ya Jal, they're knocking down your door!
