On the job front, there were a few developments this week. I applied for one of the jobs I wrote about in my last post. Have not heard anything yet, but it's a good fit. Also, I heard from Two Degrees, the recruiters I talked to first when I became unemployed and the ones I would really like to work with, and they have a couple of possibilities that could last for 6 months or more. With the level of interest I am seeing, I feel much more confident that something will connect soon. The pay wouldn't be anything like what I was making at Farmers, but I figure a) maybe I won't hate it quite so much and b) I'm starting something different, and I may have to accept less pay at first to get established.
I'm also getting more hits on my LinkedIn account than I was last month or the month before. If I weren't reading all about how bad the economy is, I would swear it's getting better.
My outplacement services got extended until July 15. Really, I hope that's enough.
On other fronts, Lucas got his SAT scores and scored 690 or higher on everything. He should have no problem getting into a good school. Also, Jackie passed a test to become certified in medical coding, first try.
Next week, Jackie and Lucas are headed to Ohio and then Oklahoma for four weeks total. It's just me and Jarrod for four weeks, including a little trip to California for my niece Alison's wedding. Life is good.
