Last Day on the Job ... on to New Adventures (again)

[Koffy Brown]

Koffy ... thanks for turning me on to this show (I really need to turn my TV from espn more often ) ... just watched episode 1 online, and will definitely be catching up on the rest ... I've always loved Cheadle's acting

... early comments/opinions ... ... it's partly accurate, and mostly unrealistic - yet still totally entertaining - but hey, it's entertainment ... ... and yes, I'm aware of the book ' ... Steal Your Watch and Then Tell You the Time' - the reality is, in these tough economic times, that stuff doesn't fly - if one doesn't demonstrate & produce measurable value, they're out (if they could even get in the door in the first place)

* off soapbox ... Thanks Again!

Dave, oh Dave dude you are about to be hooked, you gotta catch up on this show and we'll discuss I am an addict and I love Don's role aka Marty...quality stuff here...enjoy and start a thread once you get into it...

Right!! They are some nutbaskets, but did she have to have a sex dungeon like that?? I honestly don't like that they have Marty having so much sex...I'm kind of hoping that changes a little bit next season.

The gig future is excitingly unknown

• Not leaving for a new gig, and haven't looked for one, or even sent out any resumes ... wanted to finish strong w/o the distractions (responding to emails, calls, interviews, etc.) that often come with looking for a new gig

The gig future is excitingly unknown

Thanks

Ha! You def live the life. If you have any skills or inclination to work for a federal office on violence against women issues I'd be up for passing your resume along. I have no real power and not sure anything you are into would translate but overall you seem like a go- getter and doer and we need more of those - just let me know. We contract out tons.

Absolutely Kara ... I have a coupla things in the cooker, but I'm casting the net wide, just in case - will send you a pdf (especially since I already have my J vaccinations & papers)

Thanks much!

...The gig future is excitingly unknown

... what is known is Softball Seasons start Sunday, and I just put in an application to be a Substitute Teacher in a local school system (to keep me occasionally busy, and off DHP from time-to-time) ... hopefully I'll get an interview

...

Well, I never did get an interview call to be a Substitute Teacher

... re-activated my Business website - www.flipsidebms.com - a few weeks ago, posted it all over the web, and closed on a contract this week

Will be Interim (1 month to start, renewable in 30 days to 6 months, then to end of 2013 - depending on my performance & the company direction), Transition Lead for 2 major divisions of a Global Mining Company (I guess all that digging in the sandbox a child, is finally paying off)

Will be working on any given week outside of Chicago, Milwaukee, Philly, at Home, and occassionally in South Africa so they say (and where I've never been, so will be nice to be able to go on a company dime!)
