9/21/09

Recently I received a couple phone calls from 2 old customers. I've known "V" for 10 years and haven't worked with him in over 6 years. I've know "S" slightly longer and haven't worked with her in over 7. It was confusing for me. On one hand it feels good knowing I made enough of an impression that my former customers want to check in on me. On the other hand I'm not always sure what to talk about. I ask how work is going and then quickly move onto other topics. This requires me to dig into my memory and pull out the non-work items. It turns out I remember quite a bit. Enough for a couple laughs and family/hobby updates. I've got skills. :-)

9/1/09

Do you ever get a song stuck in your head? Yesterday I woke up to "Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Sponge Bob Square Pants!" It started sticking when I was looking for a birthday gift for my nephew. I'm keeping my fingers crossed he will enjoy it. Derek thought we should have run to the grocery and made a Sponge Bob. I'm not against making gifts I just don't think my interpretation of Sponge Bob would be enjoyed as much as the purchased piece of plastic. Maybe when he's older.
Today I'm at the library working on my resume and looking up companies that I may like to work for. My exciting adventure to find a job has moved into the serious phase. Other than the fact that I'm not having luck with internet connections at home, the bonus is that I'm not at home trying to get a connection to the internet. The positive is that I'm making progress. Correcting my resume, jogging, hiking, library time, and volunteering, it will all add up to something fantastic in the end.
