Job Hunt: Update

Nothing. Nada. Zip. I am still firing off resumes every day but with little effect. Wost recession since the depression they say. More and more I am hearing close-to-home anecdotes about people who have been out of work for 12 months or more.

Jeepers.

I did get to facilitate our Sunday School class a couple of weeks ago. If you aren't familiar with the concept, Sunday School is like a book club where all the books point to the same basic subject. We have a great group of thoughtful folks that gather every Sunday morning so I put the question to them - Calling vs Responsibilities - Gifts vs Abilities.

Sean has a nice round up here and here.

When you are temporarily out of work, job one is to get work. You don't want to settle in - get comfortable - this is temporary - you will be a 9 to 5'er again before you know it. No point in making any great life changes until you find out what sort of demands the new job will entail.

Yeah . . .

It's been close to 3 months now and I am beginning to think I should do something more productive with my time than just job hunting - believe me, the job hunt will continue - but maybe I should try incorporating some bliss since I have an opportunity . . .

Let's see . . . where's that Bob Ross paint set . . . .

"I think this rock lives here. And I will finish this nice painting by putting a massive tree in the middle of it all."

Get working on growing out the fro.
