The Light at the End of the Tunnel May Not Be A Train

Wow! This is pretty good news. ML did a short search on HotJobs last night and found about a dozen jobs that I qualify for! The fact that I finally have some honest-to-God network admin experience helps. ;-)

So, I'm studying now for two mid-terms I have on Tuesday & Wednesday, then it's Spring Break for a week so I can start carpet-bombing the area with resumes! what fun.... shesh! I would like to just once get a job that lasts for a while. I mean, my Dad worked for IBM for almost 30 years! That would be a nice gig. But not me -- I get to do contract consulting where I'm hopping around from company to company for three to six month assignments, or, when I do get hired as a direct employee, the company goes through some kind of merger or reorganization and I get downsized along with a pantload of other worker bees. This has happened to me - no kidding - three times in the past five years!

I went by the office this afternoon to copy off my current resumes and while I was there I packed up a good deal of my stuff (reference books, clock, shuttlecraft, tribble, etc.) and brought it home. Might as well get my cube ready for the next victim. ;-)

Oh, well. I hope everyone had a nice weekend!

And I almost forgot: Happy St. Patrick's Day!!
