Unemployment: Day 4 - First Monday Off
Rob | November 3, 2008First off, I had a great weekend with my daughter sharing Halloween candy, watching movies, reading and writing (no arithmetic). It was eerily calm and relaxing and the rain was a nice touch. This morning, I drove her to school for the first time ever since moving to the Bay Area, which was great.
Here are a few things I accomplished today:
- Tied up some loose ends by emailing my former boss a list of things I was working on, the status of each item and where to find certain resources to keep them going.
- Spoke with a couple former colleagues who continue to offer support and help me start the search for job opportunities amongst people they know, even if just for the benefit of networking. (I took a lot of notes.)
- Researched details on some propositions for tomorrow’s election so I can make cast a more educated vote.
- Edit photos and post them on a site for a local group I belong to. This had been looming over my head for a week now.
- Set up a WordPress blog for my Dad’s business.
These are just a few things I felt worth noting.
Something I didn’t get to that I really needed to do… exercise! I’m going to hit the gym hard tomorrow! Tuesday night’s are usually reserved for capoeira, but a friend is having a BYOB Election Night Gathering where we’ll monitor the election results as they unfold.
The event is described as: “We’d like to watch the numbers roll in with a small gathering of friends, eat snacks, and drink (drink is essential!)”
