Update

So its been a productive week, thus far.

I managed to wrangle up an interview with another group within my company. Its a technical position - seemingly more technical than my previous experience has exposed me to - but I'm not going in already defeated. Whether or not they feel my qualifications match what they are looking for, I will walk into that interview as if I am as deservant as any other applicant they are considering, and I will walk out the same way.

I have been contacted with two external opportunities as well. Both are outside sales positions, but only one comes with a base salary, so I'd say they have a leg up, but I am willing to at least hear the other lady out when we speak tomorrow. The earning potential is tremendous, but Im not sure I want something paid solely on a monthly commission. I'll have to hear all the details before I even consider it. The other opportunity sounds cool though. Thats what makes me nervous. It cant be as easy as it seems, but I'd make my own schedule, work from home, and at least make enough to pay the bills. I'm scheduled to speak with that woman this afternoon and I'll weigh things out after I have all the information. Who knows, maybe I could do both, since the setups are similar.

I also got my hands on the book material I had left upstate. My girl found it amongst my things in her attic and scanned and sent it to me. I was so excited about it, I read through all of it in one day. Most of the stories were started back around 2003, judging from some of the references I made at the time. Part of what I'd like to do is bring them into present day, but I must admit - even though the stories are fictitious, at least one of them began loosely based on my life. People who know me personally would see the parallels, but the story ventures off into my own imagination very quickly. I hadnt read over that story in years. I enjoyed it, but I saw where I could beef it up in places and expound a little on at least one of the plots, so I've made note to do so. Two of the other stories that were never finished are promising too. The last one I read had me immediately thinking of what should happen next. I cant wait to get started.

So thats the skinny. Still plugging away at my job hunt, but making progress, and finally getting around to the writing that this blog was originally supposed to encourage. At least Im headed in the right direction.
