Its September...

I have been approached by numerous people who were a bit "concerned" shall we say, regarding the last post I put up. Which was about two weeks ago. Not gonna lie, past couple weeks were a little tough. However, after a tremendous outpouring of support, I ended up not resigning from the fantasy football league. As I said, the move was probably an overreaction.

And last week unfortunately, my grandmother passed. This was tough for me, as I had been spending a fair amount of time with her, going to dinner with her over the past 6 months, as well as visiting her weekly while she had been in the nursing home and hospital over the past 2 months. She was my last blood grandparent. So last week, my focus really was not on "finding a job."

Although I may have found a "lead" at the memorial service. I don't know if I mentioned it, but my uncle, who lives in St. Croix, owns an independent supermarket, and his father owned up to 6 grocery stores at one point. (You may recall a follower of the blog suggesting I get into the grocery business...) Well, my uncle introduced me to the VP of Sales at a company called Associated Grocers, a large wholesale grocery coop. This company I know for a fact is growing "muy rapido." We spoke for a bit, he asked for a resume, I sent it, and he suggested we get together in a couple weeks. So, who knows, maybe something will come out of this whole thing...

Also, I actually just had my first positive conversation with a recruiter. He was very nice, is in charge of the company's newly formed sales/marketing staffing division; we spoke for a while, he seemed "not unimpressed" with what I had to say and let me know about a position he currently had an opening for. An inside sales/technology role, which I'm probably not interested in at the time, but I liked the way the conversation went. So lets hope for some positive karma here...

No bites on anything Liberty Mutual yet either...
