OK, so it's that fun period between Christmas and New Year's where no one is really expected to get anything done! I love that!! The job search continues unabated - and I may have a couple of leads that I hope will come up once the New Year rolls around. I've been focusing more on getting my house in order this week - I need to get it organized and cleaned up a little, plus I need to get my foundation repaired. I have to put 10-13 piers in! OUCH!!! I think that's kinda like giving your house a root canal, only it's painful to write the check!
So anyway, I've thrown out two or three garbage bags full of stuff and boxed up a couple more, and I've got work to go yet. I dropped a bag of clothes off at Goodwill, which is a cool place because I think they focus on job skills and employment for the underprivileged. To me that's something that's definitely worth supporting.
Anyway, I got the usual array of nice shirts and things for Christmas along with a great pannini sandwich maker (I've made like eight sandwiches since I got it - it's great if you like toasted sandwiches!) And I also got a very cool gift package including a DVD and some chocolate! So it's been a good holiday all the way around.
Hope everyone has a great New Year! I'm looking forward to a nice relaxing week of football, followed by (hopefully) a national championship win for Texas and then (even more importantly) to hit the job market running in '06. Lord willing something will present itself soon, but I'll see how things go.
Anyway, best wishes!
