Hello again, my constant readers.  I wasn’t able to post last Friday because I was busy camping with a few dozen Cub Scouts.  One thing that transition has given me is the gift of time, and I get to spend more of it with my boys, which is absolutely great!  I am a Den Leader for my youngest son’s merry band of eight year olds, and we had some serious Cub Scouting to do all weekend. Enough about that (although the s’mores and hot chocolate were most excellent) and back to talking about transition.

The best-managed companies take advantage of all options open to them, and that includes hiring the most talented people available. One wonders, therefore, why more companies aren’t hiring veterans – there are certainly enough of them looking for work.

Going to the gym has gotten a little monotonous these past few weeks, especially since my husband had an upcoming CFT he wanted to lose some extra weight for. We had been going on 3-mile runs on a treadmill at our gym and following up with 15 minutes in the sauna. Every. Single. Day. I was bored.
