I seriously started my job search today by visiting our local work force center and talked with a counselor there. Knowing my job will end in four months is not a relaxing thought, and I am hoping to get a jump start on the process now. I don't want to leave early, and I'm kind of afraid to start another job with people I don't know. To test my skills in an arena that is new to me will be nerve-testing, but I guess everyone has to do it at least a time or two in their lives. I just wish I could keep going forever in this job. Unfortunately, company mergers happen and things aren't always as we want them to be.
