So activity the past couple days consists of attempting to implement my new strategy: use various techniques to get in front of decision makers, or in laymen's term some mf'er who will hire me, hire me to a very lucrative position at that. I have drafted some very nice cover letters, made a phone call or two to figure who to send them to, then follow up. Haven't hit follow up stage yet. I of course, also respond to some job board postings, see if any of my contacts know something or can give me any bright ideas of who to speak with etc; My hope is within a few weeks of doing this consistently we will have some bites.
Yes, it has dawned on me the 4+ months into this sabbatical I am just now beginning to seriously search for something. Let's just say it has taken me a while to get "focused". On a positive note, we now have a new printer! Luckily, I have quite a support team that gives me...support. Now I can print up my own sh*t.
Also updated my LinkedIn profile the other day to align with my new resume, complete with new descriptions under all of the jobs I have had. I also removed the blog link...don't get me wrong I am in no way embarrassed etc; of the blog; however, if someone I am sending a letter to were to go on LinkedIn, see I have a blog, click on it, and see the term "f'n dbag", perhaps that may come off as unprofessional. But hopefully I won't have any "f'n dbags" looking into my actions.
At this point I'm thinking I really want the insurance wholesale gig. Just the way I am leaning. Wholesale is good. Not to say there's nothing else out there, but just they way the heart is going at the moment.
Had a slew of work done to my '06 Infiniti Tuesday. Nearly $500. Cars are awesome.
Watched the movie "Changeling" last night. Angelina looked a bit too skinny for this 1920's period piece...But I bet she could polish the chrome on a trailer hitch very nicely with those DSL's. Oh yeah, there was the line, and I just crossed it. Ooh, boy, Utley, how we digress...
I am contemplating wearing a skinny tie to a wedding this weekend. Not gay skinny, but cool skinny. However, I am unsure the skinny tie pairs well with a 3 button suitcoat. Somebody give me some tips, before I have to google "skinny tie fashion faux paus..." I like to make a statement at a wedding...I'll typically go with a nice suit, shirt combo, sans tie. My thought is I wear a tie every f'n day, why do so for a wedding. Actually, I don't wear a tie every day now, but you get the point. I have utilized the pocket square as well at times. Don't want to look like every other person there, who clearly is not as sophisticated as I am...

i enjoy the skinny tie from time to time, but not with a 3 button-er. maybe loosen up the knot on the regular tie to give off that 'i don't give a F, i'm blacking out regardless' type of vibe.
