I'll be laid off starting in February and am using the time to take courses to pursue a CPA. I'm in (or was in) contracts management...I draft, review and negotiate commercial contracts along with contracts support and work with proposals. I had an easy two mile bicycle commute, which was actually a bit too close. My ideal commute would be about 10 miles - enough to get in a ride, not so much that the commute becomes inconvenient. I'd either like to work with a government agency, preferably in audit, or work directly with customers and be self employed; after 10 years working in corporate, I've had enough.

I haven't owned a car in about 10 years, although I did renew my license last year (after 5 years without one) at my wife's request. I do occasionally drive, but it's a rare event.
