The Next Phase of my Career

I received notice today. I am fortunate to have the boss I do; he fought for me to get 3 months notice and he gave me the freedom to search for a job opportunity outside and inside my current employer.

The automotive industry has been unstable for the last few years, and I've managed to dodge this bullet for a long time. Now with the whole economy transitioning, more bullets are flying and it became difficult to justify maintaining resources that don't have a clear impact on improving the bottom line.

I'm going to use this forum to collect everything I've been reading for the past few months on job seeking, personal branding, social networking, etc.

Saving Passwords

I've always been against saving passwords, even using my own computer.

Tonight, I changed my mind. Typing passwords has become too much of a bother, as I'm making lots of typos.

Judi and I tried to get some video of my hand shaking while I'm eating, but the shutter speed on the digital camera seems to be too slow to capture it properly. We'll have to try again with better lighting.

Typing

Typing can be a bother, depending on how high I'm lifting my hands. I never can tell how much my hand is going to shake.

Yesterday I started typing and my hand shook very noticeably and I had to pull my arm away from the keyboard. There was no warning, and I pulled my hand back to my lap to get it to settle down.

Right now, it's hardly shaking at all. It's unpredictable.

I'm finding at work that it helps me to put a squeeze ball in my hand if I'm just clicking and not typing.
