The Hunt is On (Update)

So another week is here.

Last week was full of discombulations as friends were in town, the wife's work schedule was different etc. I am living proof of the adage "Do the hardest things first". I have learned that if I do not take care of the business / paperwork part of life first thing in the morning - it won't get done. Even if it means I do yard work in the heat of the afternoon.

Since my precious schedule was upended last week, I didn't accomplish as much job hunting as I wanted to. I did apply for a few more sales positions and decided against applying for the opening for a tow truck driver that Monster.com thought I would be interested in.

My actual goal is to fire off my resume to two job prospects a day and I try to keep at it until I do.

I have a coffee date with a good friend in a week or so to bounce some ideas around and I am considering going back to school one class at a time to get a masters degree for various reasons.

Having graduated college 16 years ago, it is daunting to look at applying for a master's program. I am no smarter now than I was back then but I don't think I'm any dumber either. Of course I have a gabillion more life experiences now than I did back then. It's just that I have sort of lost that edu-speak language. You know, the type that you spout off in end-of-the-semester term papers. The mealy-mouthed gobbledygook that you spew in an effort to make a "C" paper sound like and "A" paper.

It seems like most masters programs want you to submit ten pages of gobbledygook with your application fee.

Hmmmm . . . tow truck driver . . . .



Maybe not . . .

Oh, and I am thinking of joining a gym (I said "join" I didn't say "go" . . .)
