Schoonover & Out: Leaving the Job for the Last Time

Hello all!

This past Tuesday, I got laid off. Strangely, although I’m sad to lose my job of twenty-five years, I know there are tons of opportunities for me. This is what I’ve been waiting for: the universe to tell me IT’S TIME. In the meantime, if anyone needs editing work, I’m open. And I’m looking right now to change my entire life. So hit me up if you have any ideas.

Here’s me yesterday, leaving my office for the very last time.
