Yesterday morning was one of my toughest times since my unemployment began. I even got in the car and drove over to Janet’s place of work ( a day care program at a Church) , and happened to arrive during nap time, so I could sit there and tell her a little of the discouragement I was feeling. The night before, Continue Reading

This morning, as I am doing a search on Google for anything David Siegel might have said, written, done since the publishing of Futurize Your Enterprise, which was the first book I read which forwarded the idea that was made famous by The Cluetrain Manifesto: that “markets are conversations”, and that we “capture customers” as people and not eyeballs or Continue Reading

On the way to pick us (my Dad, older brother and myself) from the airport (returning from New Orleans — see previous post) , some lady was backing down an exit ramp and my Mom , just entering the exit ramp, couldn’t avoid her, and rammed her. My Mom sustained a hopefully slight neck injury (she gets an MRI tomorrow, Continue Reading
Every year since 1997 (and also in 1993), I’ve attended, with my Dad and two brothers, the SEC Men’s Basketball Tournament (all of us are Kentucky fans, since we all went to high school and college in Kentucky — college at Murray State). This year it was in New Orleans, and I just got back. It was a much needed Continue Reading

The one I had previously was back in September 2001, and I got back that negative result on Sept.11. There was a day when I was grateful for life in a new way, and all Continue Reading
I have been working on myself since yesterday’s corporate Dear John letter from a prospective employer, telling myself that this was not what I’m after, even though the atmosphere was great, the company was/is doing great. It would not be what I’ve been getting called to these past 10 years. It’s just that now does not seem to be a Continue Reading

I’m awake at 4:12 am, and have been since about 2:45. I got “the letter” one dreads when awaiting word on a job. It was the St. Louis job I mentioned on 2/27. I had an inkling , especially once Thursday came and went last week with no word that this one was probably in the history books. I even Continue Reading
