It's funny, I just read one of the last posts in this blog... it was about the thought process to go/no go for an MBA in the mist of potential job los. And here I am, a year later and with an EMBA almost in my pocket!
Today I signed the separation offer from Intel; like all good-byes, it's bitter-sweet...
Bitter for the end of something that has tought me so much, that has formed me as profesional and as the person I am today. Bitter for the current situation with the pandemic and the economic crisis ensuing that will make it so much harder to find a new opportunity in a world where there will be much more people looking for one
Sweet because it's the end of "hanging by a thread" nausating feeling... I had searched and kept hope until the "quite sure" opportunity that I had with the connected division. That opportunity jumped out the window towards the end of January amidst rumours of another Intel sale of business (which was finally announced a month ago). Now, I'm free to look at the new chapter; relook at my life and plan the future.
I'm sure it'll be tough and I'll lose hart at times and I'll feel lost at others but, in the end, it'll be a journey and that's why I've decided to retake to blogging. To record that journey; use it to think, to bloast,, to explode, to discover, to wonder... I'm not sure what will come out of this blog but I'm even considering to make it public; it might help someone and I'm sure there are a lot of people dealing with similar situations of job loss at the moment.
In any case, I'm establishing some rules for myself::

In any case, I'm establishing some rules for myself::
- Any topic is acceptable as long as I have feelings (positive or negative) about it
- Maximum of 30 min writting a day. If it's more, it's probably boring for you and a waste of time for me
- Keep an upbeat tone; make jokes, make (me? people?) smile
- Creativity, plans and projects will make most of it but I'll try to keep the rule of finishing, at least 1 project a month
- Enjoy by doing it
So, well, welcome to my blog about my future
