I haven't written anything in a while, and I know there's dozens... ok, I'm sure someone's noticed. For the one that did - what can I say, I was out of town for a while. I got down to Austin to see family and friends which was nice as always. I'm thinking more and more about moving down there, but we'll see how it goes.
OK, to sum up what's been going on:
- job fair = wasted time. The "sales and management" fair was actually pretty much all sales. The most attractive of the options to me involved selling home security systems, so that tells you something. I don't know I'm sure I'd do ok at it, but it's still sales, and I'm not sure I want to go back down that road. And since I haven't heard anything from any of the employers, I'm guessing they didn't want to go down that road either.
- search firms: I have an appointment tomorrow with a group in Dallas that saw my resume and wants to talk to me. So hopefully I'll get a few more leads through them, and likely through a couple more firms. The career center recommends 4-5 services or so, so I need to pick a few this week. I spent some time looking at my options and what I want to do, and had a good meeting with one of the councilors, and she gave me hope that some of the things I was interested in might really be options for me. We'll see. I still don't think anyone's gonna pay me to sit around and watch tv, but I guess it could happen.
- UT football: how great are we this year? 52-0 at halftime? That's just ridiculous against a Division I team. Well, now we have a couple of weeks before we play again, so I don't know what I'm gonna do with myself. Fortunately there's UT basketball (which I'm listening to right now.) Sounds like we're gonna be pretty good, so we'll see.
- Texas fall: did I miss the memo? I walked outside today and the wind's blowing 80 miles an hour and it feels like it's about 40 degrees out there.
- Raspberry pie: you really can't beat it, and I just say that because I saw some at the store today and had to pick it up. I highly recommend it.
OK, I'll try to get back on pace this week, so both of you that are reading this can feel confident in that! ;)
