Well, now we play the waiting game. The interview with Hewitt went well enough, I suppose, but who knows? I’m supposed to hear something from them sometime next week. If I get a thumbs-up, the pressing on… nationwide tour will be making a stop in Atlanta sometime this November.
My friend Ginny has told me that this page doesn’t show up in AOL’s browser for some reason. Grr. I’m starting to wonder if I might just go to something much simpler in version 8 of pressing on…
The interview was very short. It only took about 15 minutes. I don’t know whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing. Oh well. I’ll know something in November…
I went by the BCM after the interview, but no one was around. Anybody going to be there Thursday around noon? I’ve got my other interview at 11:30 on Thursday, and I’d like to see some people…
To begin with, this week’s edition of UA Football Facts is online.
Also, the first step in a slightly new look for the front page: the menus on the right side collapse and expand, for a somewhat cleaner look (in my opinion). This probably won’t work in Netscape 4, and may even crash the browser. I haven’t implemented this yet on the front page because I want your opinions. Yes, you matter here at pressing on! 🙂
Finishing up, I’ve got a couple of interviews next week! One’s with Regions on Tuesday, the other is with Hewitt Associates on Thursday. Both are on campus.
I’m back! Here’s an update on things: to begin with, my grandmother is doing better now. Her arm still hurts (that’s what was wrong with her), but she feels somewhat better and is out of the hospital.
As loyal readers know, nothing got updated last week at all. I didn’t even check my e-mail during the last part of the week because I couldn’t get online. Something was wrong with my dial-up service provider. (One more reason I need to have a cable modem.) UA Football Facts hasn’t been updated in a while; I will do that for both the Arkansas and South Carolina games later this week. I didn’t do picks last week either. I’m discontinuing them entirely just because I don’t think anyone really cares. 🙂
The job hunt is slowly progressing. Some contacts have been made, and some opportunities look to be coming, but I haven’t gotten the all-important interview yet. Stay tuned.
Fall is almost here. The weather hasn’t completely turned cold yet. But I did wear flannel yesterday for the first time since last winter. It’s almost Flannel Quest time, Ricky…can you feel it?
I’m going to be taking a little break from pressing on. How long, I don’t know. In the meantime, if you would please pray for my grandmother, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks.
Yesterday morning, my alarm went off at 7:30 a.m. That’s about as early as it’s gone off in three months. And true to my nature, I hit the snooze not once, but twice.
Driving to Tuscaloosa wearing a suit was a strange experience. I don’t know why; it just was.
I took 40 résumés with me, and ended up dropping about 25 of them.
I talked with companies located as close to me as down the street, and as far away as Pella, Iowa.
I was so tired from everything that I fell asleep last night at 7.
All in all, I’d have to say that the Career Fair went pretty well. I think that I’ve got some good chances for employment. After the last couple of months, it’s a solid step in the right direction.
This morning I had the weather channel on and I saw where it was only 75 degrees outside. Perfect bike-riding weather, I thought. So I got my helmet and headed out.
Today I went to Books-A-Million and bought The Javascript Bible, the complete source on everything Javascript. I’ve been looking for something to learn for a while now, and this was the way I decided to go. I know a little Javascript, but nothing like I’d like to; having a solid knowledge of it is one of my checkpoints.
I’m going to try to take a step toward another checkpoint a couple of days from now, when I go to the career fair at UA. Anyone interested in getting together for lunch or something while I’m over there?
Pray today. Please pray today.
…when you go outside for three minutes and come back in with seven mosquito bites.
