Today the watchword is patience. I’ve gotten through all the paperwork that needs attention for the time being, and wrote a fairly decent resume to get things started. I’ve got a job lead or two that I’m following up (I may have mentioned this before), but now I’m through a lot of the fast running, and its time to decide on a longer-term strategy. I’m really hoping to land a telecommuting job, since Gainesville doesn’t have much to offer (again, covered this) and it’s not my first choice to move for now. Since I’ve got a couple ideas for telecommuting, Emily and I agreed to see where they lead before I start a cross-country interview tour trying to land Any Old Job.
So, we wait. Waiting is a little disconcerting after running so hard the first few days, but in the meantime, I’m getting feedback on my resume, and trying to spit-polish it until it glows. I’m also doing a little professional self-improvement in the meantime, and taking advantage of the time to clean up some loose odds and ends related to family IT support.
This probably isn’t the most thrilling post to read, and I think that’s somewhat appropriate to the mood of the day. I’m still humming with excitement and hope, but for now I have to be patient.
