A full day today

I'm having lunch today with an old coworker, from two jobs ago.  He's also unemployed at the moment.  I haven't seen him in over a year so it'll be good to commiserate over our situations. 

And then I'm meeting a headhunter this afternoon.  The headhunter asked me for references and I'm really torn over what to do.  I don't think I'm on the best terms with my former manager, but that would be a good reference to have.  I'll really be torn when a real employer asks for references.  In general, I don't think anything will really come from my headhunter meetings, but I think it'll serve as good practice for me as I get back into the habit of job searching.  When I was job searching in school, I must have gone to at least 15 on site interviews.  I would often be traveling for these interviews and I liken the experience to being a stand up comedian.  I have a few bits that I tell over and over and I say thank you and then I move on. 

I have errands to run around here too.  I have to go to the store and the library and my wife asked me to mow the lawn so I've decided that will take the place of any other workout I might have done.  And then I'll be cooking dinner.  I decided on a beef with broccoli stir fry type thing, and the recipe looked fairly easy.  We'll add that to the dinner tally in advance. 

Also, I decided to sell out and add google ads to the blog.  If you care about my plight, why don't you click on one of those every day.  I had to say that I won't be clicking on any myself.
