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.

And now, it is back to work...

Well, the travelling was a pain in the rearend but the time spent with my girls (and their hubbies) and especially with Miss Raley was WELL worth it. There are some who say little Miss Raley has her Grandpa wrapped around her little finger. Not quite. But almost :-)

And now it is back to the "grind" of trying to find a job. Sure hope that more pops up now that the first of the year has arrived. Only time will tell.
