This has been a good day. I need more days like this.
The day began with a phone call from a firm in central Tennessee. They wanted to schedule an interview with me for next Thursday. I am not sure how I feel about this one because it is a very small organization and is unlikely to pay much. It offers the advantage of proximity to family, but I just don't know about it.
This afternoon, I met with a headhunter. We had a great discussion and he asked if I would consider a position in the Tampa Bay area. He was up front that it would not pay what I was making in Norfolk, but I would like to return to Florida and I have a number of friends in the Tampa area. This one could be tempting, though I have to admit that I think that I will keep my focus on baton Rouge. I would love this position.
This evening I met with friends to lay out the beginnings of a capital campaign for the not-for-profit on whose board I sit. We want to build a new building; our current one is in very sad shape. We don't have the money, so tonight was the beginning of laying out a process to try to raise the money. For the first time in a while I felt like I was actually doing something productive. It is a good feeling.
