More on this later, but the gist of the story is that I may have just secured myself some full-time employment. I’m going to wait for my first day (Wednesday) to see if it’s for real or not before I really go into it… In the meantime, I would like to point you in the [...]

Ten job requirements and one bonus
In my most recent post, I mentioned that I have 10 requirements of a job. But that wasn’t true, it was something I wrote because I was typing as fast as my brain could think. But a couple of people asked me what they were, and I wondered if maybe I really did have a [...]

Guarding the nation
This morning between the Chamber of Commerce breakfast and the Chamber of Commerce job fair, I went for a walk in downtown Poughkeepsie. Even though the mean streets of Po-town can be a bit scary at times with its diceyness, there are some real charming places to be explored in broad daylight. One spot in [...]

Inspired
What a weekend. Or rather, what a past few days. I’m still not working a regular job, not that I ever was when I was selling insurance. Back then I was just getting dressed up in the suit, driving to the office and pretending I was making money by making lots of phone calls and [...]

Consider this your “e-thank you.”
I feel so informed about what to do with my cards. Thank you. Now I just have to create, write, stuff, stamp and mail them! While you’re basking in the kind warmth of my gratitude, you can read my most recent entry on The Greenists, which is up today. Have a lovely holiday weekend!

Because people who read this blog are smart, creative and full of opinions
I just acquired a set of stamps that will allow me to create dozens of beautiful thank you notes. Every year for the past many years at New Year’s, I’ve resolved to send out thank you notes when necessary. I think I sent out one last year. Now I have the capacity to make many [...]
