Heading to St. George!

So, today, I turned in a few resumes. Called a friend in Great Britain (Ahh, IP telephony is so nice!) and asked if he knew of any jobs available, or people I could talk to looking for a job there. No dice, but I’ll be talking to him again soon I think, seeing if he remembered any names. Played Planetside for about 30 minutes… didn’t even go into the new expansion area. Dead world, nobody on this time of day (11 AM Mountain time).

Answered a lot of emails. Fixed emailing problem from my web site… it turns out that I hadn’t synched over the “sendmail” binary from my old system. Using a different version of postfix’s sendmail interface really made it unhappy, and every message bounced. Finally fixed the primary DNS on a couple of my domains. All DNS requests for those domains were being answered by the lowly little Pentium Pro 200 in my basement running OpenBSD. Uck.

Still hanging out in my pajamas, and it’s afternoon already. Oy, I need to take a bus into town with a written plan to hit a few businesses I’d like to work for. Hmm, now to write down the plan!

We scheduled a vacation to St. George for the weekend of Nov 15th. Kind of nice — we’re Worldmark owners, so it doesn’t cost us anything more than we already pay ($90 a quarter for maintenance fees). Pretty nice thing to be able to do once a year. Anyway, Christy’s friend’s wedding is on the 15th, so we’re driving down the night of the 13th to St. George (about a 5-6 hour trip), staying the night, hanging out in St. George the next day (Friday), then driving to the wedding Saturday morning, attending, and hitting Las Vegas for the rest of the day. Without wanting to spend any money, we’re going to rely on mostly the “free” entertainment in the area! We’ve done it before, and it’s pretty fun.

Then Saturday night, it’s back to St. George (about a 2-hour trip) to go to bed, pack up, and scramble out in a mad dash Sunday morning so Christy can make her church meetings at 1 PM. It wouldn’t be a big deal to miss it, but the kids are putting on some kind of presentation. Guess I’ll gussy myself up into my “Sunday Best” (Heh, black shirt, white tie, khaki pants) and head out so I can watch my children perform.

Umm, and that’s what’s going on in my life at the moment! I normally would have some witty quotes and stories from other sites, but nothing’s interesting me much at the moment.

One thought on “Heading to St. George!”

  1. Job talk

    Hey man, There’s always monster.com and stuff like that.. also, maybe outsourcing companies.. get a temp job in Net Admin stuff.. its an idea.

    If you’d like, I’m sure Kelly would chat with you.. I don’t know what insight she might have (maybe none), but then again, she’s an HR person in the IT field. At least, she could review your resume.
