Its been a month in the making. At my day job we got notice that our contract has been cancelled. One of the biggest problems was placing my staff. I was blessed with a fantastic staff that I will miss fondly. Luckily, all of them were relocated within the company for the same pay, or slightly less. We knew, however, that the biggest challenge was going to place me.

You see, at my day job I have a rather unique skill set. That skill set gives me a higher price tag. Unfortunately, few clients need that skill set, and are unwilling to pay the cost of my employment for a skill set they don’t need. That left me in pretty dire straights.

As of Friday I got notice. I was laid off (with a fairly nice severance package), and sent on my way. It was a good separation. The company is looking for opportunities for me within the company still, and within other companies we work closely with. I still consider myself their employee until I find another job.

So, I am taking the first week pretty lightly looking for a new job. I have my resume out there, but I am not pursuing anything truly aggressively. Furthermore, I have some time to be picky.

I am also using this time to tighten up some Ironwood stuff. I have 5 products off to editors and artists and am waiting on those to come back. Then they will be released. I have a couple more I am plugging out too that may not need any editing, or at least just a light perusal by my wife. So some new content is coming. It is simply, at this point, waiting for others to do what they do best.

I’m also working on finishing up the Ironwood Site. That too is waiting on some things from other people before it can truly go to beta. However, I will probably go alpha with it in the next few days. The site itself will go live, but only Sagasrpg Community Members will be invited to register as project leads, with a few select exceptions.

Anyways, here we go, plugging along. I’ll keep you posted on further developments as they come available.
