  • I Hate Job Searching!

    If there is one thing I really hate doing and get frustrated with, it's job searching. I'm not a very social person. Sure I don't mind talking to people, but for the most part I like to be alone (or with close friends) and just get down to business. Sometimes job searching is just BS to the…

  • 18 Minute a Day Job Search?

    According to statistics from the US Department of Labor (and fact-checked by US News & World Report), the average unemployed American is spending a measly eighteen minutes per day on their job search. Only eighteen minutes per day? That's really not much time at all. Are some people not tryi…

    I brought up the topic of future contracts with my big client, and he told me that he intended to propose it to the board. He's happy, and if they give him the budget, he'll continue with me. It was the list of numbers I had for him, I'm sure. I also have a job interview today. Good thing I have a s…

    I had a job interview yesterday. This was excellent news, because it was disheartening not to be called for any interviews. However, do not be thinking that there is a happy ending, because there isn't. They intend to offer me the job, pending the results of a background check. I am not interesting…

  • Before I tell you any stories,…

    Before I tell you any stories, I have some unseemly gloating to do.If you should happen to type my zip code in at Google, an admittedly unlikely eventuality, you would find my MyZip site at #3, right after the Google map and citydata. This gloating is not only unseemly, but completely pointless. Ran…

    I am singing the solo in "Down to the River to Pray" again. I think I have to point out -- just in fairness to myself -- that I didn't clamor for this solo. The director said, "Didn't you sing this solo last time?" and I allowed as how I had, and then said, "Is there anyone else who wants it?"Consid…

    Yesterday was a productive day. I visited the farmers' market to buy plants, worked with The Chemist to get two file drawers of music into the database, planted at least part of the garden, worked on my resume, and finished the table runner.The Chemist and I got our music-entry system going pretty…

    Here is the table runner with the binding half done. I like the print binding much better than I did the plain ready-made, so it is a blessing that I ended up a bit short on that and had to be a bit resourceful.The Empress and I were doing inventory yesterday, and got to talking about jobs. We can…

    I decided that I might actually not be well, what with the sore throat, headache, and so on, and really really took the day off, with lots of tea and novels for medicinal purposes.I reread Lonelyhearts 4221 by Colin Watson and Flossed and Found by India Ink and The Perfectly True Tales of a Perfect…

    I didn't get through my to-do list yesterday, I didn't get to the gym, I didn't go to the first meeting of the Master Chorale.Basically, the to-do list was too long. No, scratch that. Because things can always be moved on to the next day, can't they? I think it was stress. When I get stressed out, I…
