  • 2017-12-12 How Do They Do It?

    This past weekend I had an interview with the manager at my gym for a position as a front desk attendant. For those who don’t know, there’s typically a person who stands at the info desk near the entrance to the gym and is responsible for greeting people. The other job responsibilities include, as I…

    This morning I’m back in my happy place on “my” elliptical machine staring out at an almost completely empty gym. All the working people are probably already on their way to or at work. All the Non working people are probably not up yet. 😜 The exception to that seems to be people who are…

    Monday morning again and my head is full of things I want to put on the to-do list this week. The challenge? Making the job search a priority. Sadly, the issues I had this past with my HVAC, iPhone, and laptop ended up being welcome distractions from what should be my main goal. Despite that…

    My job interview today went well. I’m pretty sure my reputation precedes me on this one and that probably cuts the conversation in half. The people I spoke with were the president of the company and the current product developer/owner/leader. Really cool people who seem to have great vision about the company and where things…

  • 2017-10-19 What About Right Now?

    Yesterday I met with a finacial advisor. It was just an initial discussion so he could explain to me what he and his team and company are all about. He described their philosophy for investing and the different options available for utilizing their services. We also took a peek at what I have in my…

  • 2017-10-18 They Will Use You ‘Till They Lose You

    Last night I click-clicked on a twitter link and jumped into a tiny rabbit hole. It started with a tweet that twitter promoted to a notification in its infinite algorithmic wisdom. It was a tweet by my ex. Of course I clicked on it because I am only human and he “hasn’t tweeted in a…
