Oooookaaaaay.....

I finally did something other than trade voice mails with the woman from Ingram Micro [in Buffalo] vis a vis my spamming them with my resume for one of their vendor tech support openings.

20 minutes, some tech questions [name three kinds of broadband, what's the difference between a switch and a hub, tell me one thing about cable/dsl/wireless], some really strange questions ("Do I smoke?" wtf?). . . I think I did reasonably well, but I'm far from my sharpest at 8:30am before coffee. So, we'll see.

I should really spend some time perusing the classified pages that critus and depotmode were good enough to share, so that [plug] Gothopia [/plug] is more likely, but still. . . it felt good to do something other than just bitch. Even just articulating to this woman why I'm looking for other opportunities [I have no interest in or passion for maritime regulatory minutae, independent of the pittance paycheck and lack of bennies] seemed to help slough off some of the caked-on psychological muck I've been so busy wallowing in lately.

A quick shout out to some people who've been helping my brain lately - thanks.

I just posted an assload of listings for houses on the Yahoo Group. Bob and I may be making a Kamikaze run on St. Pete before the cruise. Because, well, I just may kill someone if I'm stuck up here for much longer.

Let me know if and when you're coming down! Be cool to see you before the cruise.

i guess i'll be checking the tampa/st.pete classified pages this weekend to see if i can get any other decent leads, jobwise.

[angel-renewed.livejournal.com]

Right. Trust me, you don't want to get in the way of a Durannie.

[etcet.livejournal.com]

oh, i know. i'm probably gonna get my game on with jaime or MBI.

[depotmode.livejournal.com]

We'll suck you all in! St. Pete will become Gothopia.... :)

There are lots of jobs here...somewhere. I'm sure you'd have better luck than I have, being in a different industry than I am.
