Falling down on expectations
Obviously, I'm not LJing as much as I should. Sadly, this is not the only one of my goals for the year that I'm not doing upholding very well at this time. I've been slacking on the gym thing quite a bit lately. I still go, but I'm not going as much and my enthusiasm level has definitely diminished. Workout Buddy got a part time job and can't ( Read more... ) -
A couple of days late...
Happy Birthday, raventhourne! -
Sometimes I'm a little slow
So, one of those things I've been hating for the past year and a half is my completely honest answers on job applications regarding my lack of experience / training / education in certain areas, most specifically GIS, even though I have actually picked up quite a few tidbits about how these technologies / procedures are used and performed. I've ( Read more... ) -
Please, please, please!
I really hope I get high consideration for the Research Ecologist job I just applied for at NOAA here in Seattle. The duties listed for it dovetail almost perfectly with my experience from grad school (and this doesn't happen that often).
The incumbent will perform the following duties ( Read more... ) -
Doom and gloom
And I'm so screwed. Got a letter from the unemployment office today. Apparently, I have less time than I thought to find a job; my unemployment benefits run out next week. Yeah, that was good news. I can apply for emergency extension, so there's some hope. If I don't get that, though, I'm pretty much screwed. I get to do the rounds of phone ( Read more... ) -
Err...
Apologies for radio silence. Just not much going on. There were some really nice days last week, which of course coincided with some stuffiness. Methinks allergies. As of this weekend, I am a full-on, sneezing, coughing, snot monster. Yippee. Skipped the gym yesterday and today because of it. Hopefully, I'll be able to go tomorrow. We'll ( Read more... ) -
Nothing to report
Okay, not nothing, but there really hasn't been much going on here. The job hunt situation is the same, I've been pretty good about not shopping, I'm still going to the gym with enthusiasm. I've read a few books in closer sequence in the past couple of weeks than I did in the first two weeks of the year, and I'm watching the first season of ( Read more... ) -
Sundries
The barrage of job openings continued after my last post. The final count for the week was ten applications, several jobs saved for later applications, and two jobs that I applied for Saturday night that are officially considered part of this weeks effort (they got recorded as Sunday in the system because of the time zone difference, and I went ( Read more... ) -
I keep trying
Apparently, this is going to be a banner week for me...at least in terms of number of jobs for which I submit applications. I've already put in eight applications, and it's only Monday night. I'd say go me, but I'm not actually sure it's a good thing. While, yes, this is a record number for one week for me, the fact that I put in so many at once ( Read more... )
