Connecting…

(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.

a little time off…

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.

dirty day…

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!
