(9/11/08) After I dropped Caleb off at school today I headed to a Kaldi´s to do some reading, writing and connecting. I´ve got some networking meetings today that will hopefully pan out into some good connections.
I think that is the key; being connected. The more people you know and can contact, the better your chances of finding a job. I think it will increase the speed at which I can find one too.
UPDATE:
Ok, so I´m looking at getting back into the IT realm and am considering development, particularly in the telecommunications realm. I am still trying to narrow my search. I am looking at a couple construction companies also. Weĺl see what happens. In the meantime, I´m going to start learning a new programing language.
last thursday, i was let go from my job. the housing market finally took me as a downsizing victim. so, i´ll have a little time off. some of you know that we had an offer accepted on a house and were about 3 weeks away from closing. we will not be closing that soon, but are going to hold off for a while to see if i can come up with some employment. most likely we will not get the house. unfortunately, that means we´ll lose any money we´ve put in so far. disappointing.
i have already had a phone interview with another company last friday and i sent my resume to them over the weekend. i have forwarded my resume on to a few other friends who will keep their eyes and ears open for me. i have found that the easiest way to find a new job is to see who you know and who they know, etc…
i´m wondering if there isn´t something i can do back in the IT field. i really do enjoy communication technology.
well, that´s it for now. we´ll keep you posted on what´s happening with the job search. God is in control and he has always taken care of us and provided for our needs. He loves us and we are grateful.
I was walking my new community yesterday and it was pretty messy. I had changed my shoes and it was a good thing. The mud was caked on thick. At the end, we were walking up the back of a walkout lot when I started to slip. I tried shifting my feet, but nothing worked.
Down I go, to the hands and 1 knee, right in the mud. Did I mention that it was only 11am?
Luckily I had brought another pair of pants (that I should have worn out In the first place).
Today I wore different pants that I could get dirty and didn’t fall once. Go figure!
