A tiny baby step...

Well, it is said that a journey begins with a single step. So on Thursday (delayed from Wednesday because they hadn't plowed the street yet on Wednesday) I mailed off the application "package" for the job that was posted last week. I am expecting a call some time this next week to talk about the next step.

Meanwhile, I am trying to fan a flame out of another tiny spark that occurred about a week ago. This would be for another job here in Indiana but I suspect that the company is balking at how much they feel they would have to pay me (based upon what I was making at Thomson). Of course, they haven't asked me yet. In fact, I am not even sure that the recruiter who I talked to has even presented my resume to them yet. And when I tried to call him I got a call back from another recruiter in his office with the lame "well, he's been out sick". And, she didn't even know what job he and I had been talking about. Hopefully, I can fan that one into some sort of flame so that I can have an "option" to consider.

Bottom line is that things are looking up but there is still a loooooonnnnnnggggggg way to go to get to that first paycheck. But ya gotta start somewhere.
