Late Tuesday

Tuesday almost slipped by with no post.....but it is late afternoon and here I am. I had a good day - I had coffee with a friend that I met from a posting on linkedin. Peter responded to my posting because he wanted to help. He had been laid off before in his career and knew how it felt. We have had a number of meetings where he showed me some sales and bus dev techniques to use in the job search. His willingness to help a stranger has been a bright spot during this trying period.
I had lunch with my son - White Castles. Not the best thing for the digestive system, but he likes them so we had a good time. I took him to Best Buy to use a gift card he had and we took the dog for a walk.
So, the day was full of non-job search activity. My son goes back to school next Monday. While I can't totally slack off on the search, I have to cherish these days with my son because I have never had the opportunity to spend time with him like this.

So, in summary, it was a good day. And with New Year's eve tomorrow and the avalanche of bowl games to come, I should enjoy these last days of the year with the idea that I will land soon.

and with the friends and family I have, I will.
