So I got a most unusual phone call from my mom today.  It was about who my father is.  As some of you may know about a month ago my mom decided to tell me that the guy I thought was my dad really wasn't.  She went on to tell me that my dad's name was Robert.  We got into it because I wanted to know more and she wasn't able to tell me.  Fast forward to this afternoon.  My mother called me to say that she had done some investigating on the subject.  She called some friend of hers down in Akron and talked to her about it.  This friend of hers, Pam, was able to help her remember things more cle

I am still looking for a new job.  I do have a lead on a job that I think I can get.  They have seen my resume and are interested in meeting with me.  The problem is that the hiring manager is very busy.  The way they do things, I would need to do a phone interview with the Senior QA person and the manager.  If that went well they would bring me in for a face to face.  Someone I know had an in with the hiring manager and got it in front of him.  This is how I know that he's interested.  If I can just get that interview I know that I would get the job.  I am now playing a waiting game.  I ha

Hey all,

Hey all,

I have been looking for a new job for about 6 weeks now.  I know that is not an extremely long period of time but I need a job ASAP.  I am about out of money at this point and I'm not sure what I am going to do.  If I were a programmer I would have had a new job in a matter of a few weeks.  But alas I do not code.  I have been trying to find jobs where I can do the whold transferable skills thing.  What kills me is that I know that I am far too talented to not be working.  So why aren't I yet?  I need to figure out what I'm doing wrong quickly before I end up homeless.

So I was updating my LinkedIn profile tonight and I saw the message telling you how many times your profile has been viewed.  i clicked on the link and it said that my profile has been viewed by a VP from my ex company in the last 30 days.  That makes me wonder...just what were they looking for?  I know they aren't planning on hiring me.  They can't possibly think that I was going to go in LinkedIn and bad mouth them.  That would just be professional suicide.  So what could they hope to gain in looking at it?  Honestly it makes me think that they just want to find out where I'm working.  I
