The Aerie

A Good Day

Well yesterday was certainly an encouraging day. No work quite yet, but after ten days of nuthin', suddenly I got four opportunities in about as many hours. One was even a Director of Security position! Whoohoo!

Also, my textbook actually arrived - as advertised, I paid $9.99 for a book that's $99.99 at the U of M bookstore. I think maybe it was so cheap because it does not have the CD that's supposed to be inside the cover. I don't think that will matter, but I could always see if I have a classmate whose CD I can borrow.

With all the applications and customized resumes I had to assemble yesterday I didn't get much else done. Today I'm supposed to be working on college homework, but as usual I'm having a hard time getting motivated. Still I'm running out of things to procrastinate on, and I may accidentally start getting some work done soon.

The spouse and I reviewed our finances and we look like we're probably good through March, if we pinch our pennies closely. Unfortunately some of these jobs I've been talking to have a 'net-30' payment schedule, so I need a job in six weeks just to survive til the first paycheck arrives.

Anyway, hopefully one of yesterday's slew of opportunities will come through and I can at least start earning money again. But it felt good to get a bunch of calls, makes employment seem less impossible...
