DISPATCHES FROM THE GHOST MOOSE

In a little more than a week, the year 2019 will be half over.  Time sure flies.  I will have been between jobs for 10 months.  It is frustrating, but I have some colleagues similarly affected.  We are all doing everything we know how to do to find jobs, but so far no success.  I am glad I made the decision to come to Florida when my lease was up in January.   Ideally I would find a good job in Florida, but the market here is so much smaller than it is in Chicago.  But, to go back to Illinois and all it's problems would take a lot of thought.  Very hot here lately.  I guess it is time for my next walk.  I go through 3 shirts a day from all the sweaty walks I take.  I can tolerate the heat much better than the cold. 

I haven't written much, other than cover letters lately.  The fellow job seekers I know are having the same lack of success, so I guess it is not just me.  I have been getting help from Jim, a fellow seeker, on my resume and job search strategy.  It is very important to have a supportive friend, whether it is for a job search, or for any of life's challenges.  If you do not have one, find one.   Two smart people can attack a problem with more than double the fury and twice the chance of success, than one person can. It is hot every day in Florida.  But, I much prefer the heat to the cold.  My job search is targeting both South Florida and Chicago.  I don't plan to cast a wider net than that.  Hopefully one of these days a job will come through.  Until then, I will keep at it. because, what choice do we have, right?  gotta keep grinding.
