Counting Down the Days

My official end date is 29 September. God I cannot wait. This place is really going downhill fast from a morale perspective, and with more layoffs likely on the horizon, my payout and leaving the sinking ship cannot come soon enough.

I will really need a bit of a break from everything to unwind, so am beginning to warm toward playing a bit more online than I had originally anticipated. I guess my schedule will sort itself over time, however, by following the blogs of a few online players I figure I would be doing myself a large injustice by not allocating some of my bankroll toward online play.

Am considering a holiday up North, most likely the Gold Coast, to take the family for some fun in the sun. Will take the laptop up there with me and play online during the evenings. May also check out Jupiters Casino while I am there, though I do not anticipate any major outlays however. I have also penciled in a trip to Vegas in the new year, most likely in the lead up to the WSOP, with an aim of playing some satellites to the main event, and perhaps a direct buyin into one of the earlier events. We will see.

When asked by my friends what I am going to do when I leave my current role, I have tested the waters as to their attitude and told them that I am considering playing poker for a little income in between jobs. Most of them consider my poker skills to be ordinary at best, however, this assessment is made through our monthly drunken home game. That is the way I like it because, as my bankroll will attest, I have farmed about $1,800 (net of my other drunken losses) from them in small cash games on the side over the past two years. I don't feel guilty though as I am sure I have provided more than that back to them in hospitality costs over the years.

Anyway, best get back to work as I have soooo much to do before the 29th, and I want to leave on a good note.
