So this is the beginning...

I'm sitting at the kitchen table, wondering, hoping, feeling that soon something will happen. My son will call out my name. The dog will bark. The phone will ring. An instant message will pop up. Who knows. It's what promted me to start this walk. A chance to get my thoughts out on all sorts of moments in life. Moments where you choose to walk the line, stray from it, step over it, or barely reach it. Looking back on the last 33 years I've had many of those choices, and I will have many more in the future.

Since I don't know what's coming next, the only way to go is backwards. That's a line isn't it. A straight direction which leads to in intersection.

The unemployment line.
The most challenging in recent past, but by no means the most challenging in my life.

The Unemployment line is skinny but by no means short. Skinny in the fact that getting off of it, jumping over it, or going under it is not that big of a challenge. The right place, the right time, the right boss will come, but you have to keep walking it. That's where it gets tricky. Which resume, cover letter, or interview will start your new line, and when will you get to it. So far I've sent out 44 of them. I've had 3 interviews. Kind of sucks when you compare the numbers. Or maybe not. I'm just short of the old sales target 10 no's = 1 yes. Either way I will keep putting one foot in front of the other.

The next line will come soon...
