3rd week into severance

I have to say that my time in severance is going very quickly! I've been staying extremely busy, though. I have 2 different part time jobs that require slightly different things from me, but completely different dress. One is business casual; the other is whatever you can get a bleach stain on without losing sleep. I learned that last one the hard way.

I'm really enjoying it, though. Both jobs are giving me structure in my day while earning some extra pocket change. But most importantly, they are giving me experience with how retail businesses run. This includes the cash aspect, working with customers, and managing people in a non-office environment. Interesting stuff, actually. I've made it more interesting by adding in my own little challenges of up-selling, selling different perks, and moving stale inventory. So far my managers are enjoying it, and it gives me another challenge.

My S.O. and I found the investment property we have been looking for. We need our investment partners to take a look at it as well, then start the process of fixing it for for resale. We found another one as well that presents more of a challenge. That one will be our second challenge, if it's still around when we're ready for it!

I am also enjoying not having to run anymore! Although I would like to be a little more loyal to my morning group workout. My plan is to go each day for the rest of the week.

These are interesting times! I just hope that I can earn a few more months of salary in this time so that I can "buy" more time away from the office environment! Otherwise, I'm back in the rat race on May 1st. I'm very optimistic that it will happen, but it's good for me to keep my eye on the ball.
