Job-blog update II

So yesterday:
10:00 am interview went off at 10:30ish and lasted well over an hour. Very impressed with the individual and the company. Since it was the third interview, I'm hoping that I get a call today or tomorrow to schedule a flight to Orlando for a meeting with Corporate next week - say a prayer, keep your fingers crossed, send good karma.

My 5:30 interview on the other hand:
A couple of days ago I had my web-cam working, went to the local computer tech store yesterday afternoon to review the video conference set-up and configuration. I had everything right. 15 minutes before the interview I get my video set and ready - I'm looking at myself on the computer, everything is fine (can you tell where this is going?), we go to connect, my web cam program unloads. They can hear me, I can see them - but I'm gone. It was almost comical - this would be a 2009 version of an I LOVE LUCY episode.

I spent probably two hours trying to reconfigure, re-download. Finally got it working again. It's working this morning. I'm trying to coordinate a test for a followup this afternoon. Wish me luck. Send my computer good karma - it obviously needs it. They were real cool about it - this is their first try at this also. Live and learn. If this works, I'm going to expand my interest level to include parents and family. Pretty amazing stuff - it's thru window live messenger. Check it out.

Front Desk View of Obama's Speech

Obama Rocked!!
Feels right, feels good.
Great decision America!!!
Accountability? he made reference to this in his speech tonight:

NOTE: it would not let me link it - you'll have to access it yourself.
It's 2009 - but really it's Orwell's 1984.
Maybe time to re-read that book.

Job-blog update

Another day, another resume, two, three or four emailed. Another email followup, phone call, message or two, three, four or more.
Hopefully this week will be the most productive to date. I've had a second interview for a timeshare property manager position at a Colorado ski resort. Plus, I got a followup email from a worldwide home rental company after a second interview last week. Each seems promising - but with today's job and economic challenges - WHO KNOWS?

Some days its a challenge to maintain a positive attitude. That's why I don't read the paper daily anymore. Don't listen to NPR in the morning - still listen most evenings - but NOT in the morning.

Say a prayer, send good karma - whatever you can do to send positive waves my way this week and next while I continue this search in the worst economic times since . . .? Be optimistic - go spend money today and tomorrow and the day after that.
