I'm very sad.
I was holding off on making a final decision, but it really looks like we will not be attending CNTL this year.
A couple weeks after last year's CNTL, the company I worked for announced a "Marketing Realignment Strategy" that left myself and 3 others in our marketing department without jobs. I was unemployed for most of last summer but finally took a job at a national home improvement store.
It's nice that I am employed with health insurance, but the schedule at this place is absolutely
awful. I only get one full weekend off per month. And with that, I don't get the Friday or Monday unless I use vacation, which I don't have yet. To make matters worse, they really don't post the schedule until about 2-3 weeks prior. So I'm not even sure if I'm scheduled to have that weekend off or not.
If a miracle happens and I'm scheduled to have off that Saturday, we may drive up and spend part of Saturday there. I hope that much is possible at least.
So I'll be thinking of you guys having fun pitching 'shoes, geocaching, cooking out, walking on the beach, etc.
Have FUN!!!
