It's not totally unexpected though I had hoped an alternate project
would have been kicked off and at least some action to recover the
investment of the current project. I will be taking some time to play,
but I'm also going to be serious about the job search because I don't
want to end up six months from now wishing I had been more diligent.

I do need to open a BrickBay store. I've got 4 or 5 boxes of surplus
parts. My real problem is that while much of what I will be selling is
in new condition, some is used, and while some amount of the new stuff
has gone directly into storage bags in the surplus box, other stuff has
gone into my main storage which has had used mixed in. I will probably
identify items from such bags as "like new" unless the part is obviously
of lower quality.
