Job Search plus

"Long haired freaky people need not apply."


Tomorrow I have a "behavioral interview" with a major employer. Tonight we practiced (good thing we did) -- I've been out of the "game" for so long I really had to think back to specific situations to draw examples from.

In other news I've done a little bit of work with a pre-startup company. My school project has suffered over the last week+. Tomorrow I'll get back to it, I promise!

On Wednesday I'm attending a new members meeting followed by pub night for an entrepreneur network that I recently joined.

It's scary to put myself out there. I've been at home for some time now and need to boost my self confidence.

I'll report back after the interview :-)

Rough Week+

The last week and one half have been stressful and sent me off kilter. What happened during this time? Well, I've applied for a few jobs and since I have been out of the game for so long, I'm not used to the ups and downs of wondering what is happening with the application -- will I get an interview? Did I complete the online application form correctly? Should I have worded something differently? I'm a wreck.

To make matters worse, a fellow that I have worked on and off with over the last half year contacted me out of the blue. His startup has finally been registered, although, he's still looking for seed money to get the venture off the ground. He needed some help with code that I had written months ago, and frankly my heart just isn't into it. I guess my hopes were/are up with the jobs that I have applied for.

I've let my work on the Master's project slide this week. And I've barely run at all - which is bad.

I still have no word back from my main supervisor re: my last two courses and that is also weighing on my mind. Why is she avoiding me?

Sometimes I think too much; actually, sometimes I worry too much. Today I need to get back to my project and get on with life.

P.S. This is a test post using Google Docs.

March 100 Mile Challenge

I'm going to try this again, last challenge I was doing awesome and then missed too many runs and couldn't make it up - I ended up being eight miles short :-(

020080309 - Today I cut into my deficit. I ran a new route which was great, however, it included a lot of hills which tired me out pretty quickly. Oh yeah, I also tried Orange Blast GU - not bad, but, I think I prefer Lime.

020080308 - I am really far behind. This past week I was very busy with my project and job search; I shouldn't have let my running slide, but, I did. Time to get back on track.
