Today, Linda's son, Kyle, moved back to Michigan. He and his brother, Sam, are renting an apartment in Kalamazoo, where Sam is going to school. Kyle will work for a year, then go back to school.
We are down to three in the house, plus the dogs. Linda and I alternate cooking, and I do the cleaning. Kyle took much of the responsibility for the dogs, which will now fall to me. I love them both. In fact, I love pretty much every dog.
In the meantime, I spoke to the temp agency today. They are still waiting to hear from two of the three places they sent my resume to. I have an appointment with the other temp agency at 10 am tomorrow.
I am building my own website. One thing I've read many times over is that employers worry that "older" workers are afraid of technology. And as I mentioned earlier, 92% of employers use the internet to find employees, especially LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook. Obviously, you don't want to have a controversial Facebook or Twitter account. So I'm linking all three of those to my website. I will post the link when it's done. And I will prove that I am on top of technology!
I have been getting discouraged, but today I realized that I have been here only 4 weeks. My self-imposed deadline was 8 weeks, which I've now shortened to 6. 2 weeks to go. I am sure I can do it.
