Jig Jag JOG

What the huh? So, I'm actively passively looking. That's what I'll call it. I don't have a ton of time to go through Monster posts or anything like that (as it's usually a huge waste of time anyway) but will take time to network with folks and apply to jobs that are emailed to me that seem to say "Dori Goldman" all over them. None of these are options....meaning, I haven't heard squat from any of them. One was a referral from a former co-worker and she (Hiring Manager) was nice enough to email when I sent her my resume and tell me that I possessed most of the qualities they were looking for "in spades" and I would hear from her "soon". That was October 30th. Now, I don't like to bug people and totally understand the "He/She is just not that into you" philosophy when it comes to job hunting so I politely sent an email just checking in to remind her that she at one time gushed over my qualifications but that I hadn't heard from her in a week and a half.

And we're off......

I can't get too nervous because I still have time but I know how hard it is to get something lined up in this economy so the harder I work now the better I'll be come January 2010. Plus, without any pay for the holidays, my sense of urgency rises even more. Freelancing is great: except for the no coin on holidays and a little thing called no health insurance.

I did sign up for pet insurance today. Not for me, mind you (I'm sure you all were thinking that!) but for my wondrous pup. No matter what, he's covered for a year. Now, if I can just get myself taken care of.....
