Things unemployed people do

It has been a pretty slow week on the job search. There have been a couple of calls from headhunters that have some pretty interesting jobs in Columbus, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Atlanta. But have not heard from any hiring managers yet. Not losing hope, it has not even been a month yet.

Thought I would let you know what I have been doing to keep busy (no particular order):

• Take your 95 year old Aunt to the foot doctor to get her toe nails trimmed. They asked her for a picture ID and she gave them a picture of herself.
• Help mom apply for Medicaid, required many many hours of calling people, getting copies of all kinds of papers, making copies, meeting with the medicaid people.
• Helping at Awana last night, listening to kids recite Bible verses. I was with the 1st grade girls, it was pretty fun.
• Choir practice at church, always a good time
• Looking a used cars (newer than my 1992 caddy), day dreaming of buying one
• Teaching college @ MVNU last class tonight, been a great group, have been asked to teach another class in May (anyone know what "Moodle" is?)
• Visiting people at hospital when the Pastors are busy
• Exercising some, but not enough, hard to get motivated to keep it up
• Attending a Men's Leadership book study group, that was fun, met some new people, getting back to reading some more
• Attending auctions at Appletree Auction, that is interesting
• Going to Columbus to meet with my outplacement case worker, nice guy, always leave encouraged
• Checking in with some old Abbott colleagues and other ex-Abbott employees
• Keeping up with my 100 day Bible Reading plan
• Babysitting for Brock, Jakob, and/or Bryson on an emergency basis

So you can see for the most part I am keeping busy, which is the plan.

Just need one company to call!

God still in control.
