Okay, I've not been very stressed about the job going away at the end of the year. My company is closing, and there's just no avoiding it, and nothing I can do to prevent it, slow it down, or even ignore it and pretend it's not there. It's done.
Even still, I've decided that I can always make a go of opening my own consulting firm. I already have a client that I could rely on to pay me at least as much as I could get from unemployment, so that puts me in a pretty good position.
I also mostly stopped throwing my resume out there for anything. I let people know that I'm for hire, I've updated G+, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, so that I can try to improve my online visibility, but that's it.
That, though, was enough. I had an interview a week ago. I got that interview due to former coworkers who had moved on to this company. I liked what I saw. I liked the people, the tech, the environment. I was (cautiously) hopeful. Today I got, and accepted, an offer from them. I'm starting up on Dec 19.
I've got myself a new job. Just barely before the current one would be calling it kaput. I wasn't overly stressed, but I'll admit it's nice to know a bit of what's coming.
Finally, some good news out of all this
