Be Careful What You Wish For
Remember yesterday I said I applied for a job that I found online and that after sending my resume and cover letter in via an online application, I would wait and wait and wait (in the words of Buzz Lightyear) to “Infinity and Beyond”? Turns out I was wrong. Last…
Pay No Attention To The Man Behind The Curtain
Monday. A new week. I found one new job lead this morning to which I will apply. And wait. And then I’ll wait some more. And then there will be additional waiting. This is my life. I’ve decided to digress on this blog entry. I try hard to keep this…
A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes
I can’t believe it’s Friday again and another week has come and gone. Another week of no new job leads. I keep wondering how long this can go on, how long can I hold out until circumstances force me to take any job I can get versus a job in…

Taking Chance
Watched a movie I’ve been wanting to see for awhile last night: Taking Chance is the remarkable true story of one soldier’s death and a nation’s reverence and gratitude towards its war dead. After hearing of the heroic death of a young marine in Iraq, veteran officer Lt. Colonel Michael…
Me and Phil’s Shadow
I was thinking last night how anymore my days seem to be the same day over and over. I know we all have this, what with work and family responsibilities, but sometimes it’s even more than a rut or routine. It’s really like the movie with Bill Murray, “Groundhog Day”….
