Are these job search sites useful? I have spent much of the day getting my resume spread far and wide. So far my only emails have come from additional job searches that found me via Monster. So now I am up on “teacher to teacher” and several other similar sites. I’ve been contacted by HR at Elsevier and they are reviewing my resume – googling me – finding this blog and deciding not to hire me based on content. Ha. Googling me and deciding to hire me based on content, as I would be an entertaining coworker. Blah.

Joseph also called – he is not happy with my progress so I need to kick the freelance work up a notch and hope these websites get me working.

BJ is pushing for me to move to Springfield and there is an open lectureship at the university there for next fall – now accepting applications. Teaching there would be a good springboard back into the academic life. I suppose Truman for next fall might be just as possible.

BJ and I do the shoot pool & meet people thing fairly well, so we could establish a new Springfield tribe. What did ever happen to the volleyball girls? The shorter brunet was a good swing dancer – but they all thought that Beth & I were a couple. Ruthann and I were a couple, but of course she never went out with us during that phase of the doom parade.

BJ and Jason were telling me to embrace my Bandito side and write a book on how to be a bandito. Chapter one – how to find a cool pad that becomes party central and allows dogs. Chapter two….. suggestions?
