So I didn't attend the big networking shindig down in Boston last night. I know I probably should have. Hey, what can I say I'm not perfect. Far from it. Got tied up doing "things'', see yesterday, and didn't do it. What can I say. We win some, we lose some. The thought of schmoozing, seeing some old dbags from college, and 2 hours in the car just didn't appeal to me last night, considering the busy day and 4 hours in the car I will be partaking in later today. So I told myself if I were to miss this event, I had to be productive about it. I believe I was...
What I did do was fix that printer of mine (75%)...its now printing, however with a large smudge running down the whole right side of the page. Baby steps. I also officially submitted my first resume to a company I'd like to work for. This may be considered monumental, since it's the first of the "new" resumes I have submitted. It is perhaps 1000 times better than the old ones I made up, so we'll see how it goes. I will also follow up with a targeted cover letter via mail. I will attempt to do this regularly as part of a structured regimen that will begin Monday.
I was also contacted by a recruiter (I think) via LinkedIn yesterday and I followed up w/ her. I wonder how people like this find me. Phone tag, you're it.
Laundry was also done, needed for the trip this weekend up to God knows where, Maine. God knows where, Maine, for a bachelor party minus female entertainment. I thought it was kind of a prerequisite. But I guess we shall see...
So Monday starts a new chapter for me. The chapter where I actually approach this thing with some structure, with some goals and strategies. Like a young Vince Lombardi.
Yes, think of me as a young Vince Lombardi, leading my team to the promised land. My team being me, and the promised land being eternal consciousness (aka personally and professionally rewarding career.)
Here we go.
