Life Stuff

No photos. I have been considering the stuff of life today. Some of it is very mundane - like finally having a clean house (including scrubbed floors!), Honda has been serviced (oil change, tires rotated, and tail light replaced), and grass is mowed (a short 3-hour project). Some of it is more frustrating - Bud doesn't come when called (however, he paid the price and had to stay outside an extra 3+ hours while I took the Honda to Decatur). Additionally, I found out I did not "qualify" for a job with the Bureau of Land Management in northern Idaho (not that I wasn't qualified, but my answers didn't qualify me for the job that was announced). Hum?

Tomorrow will be a long day. I drive to O'Hara for an interview at 1:30 pm and then am planning a return trip the same day. Four hours up and four back. I haven't had time to do the homework necessary to make a fantastic impression however. Too busy with the mundane, I guess.

Time to review the 12 things to get hired and the 45 things to consider daily. Both are great lists of reminders. I did manage to almost finish another draft of a personal business card. This version will have to do for now.

Twitter, Facebook, Linked IN - my way of connecting with others. Walk with the neighbors continues to be a conservative rant, expanded by discussion of plants (primarily trees). I hope I am not in a rut, but some days certainly feel that way.

I must follow Sir Winston's advice (it is so true):

"Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm." - Sir Winston Churchill
