At the agency I work for ( well, at least for the next month or so)-they were ranked in the bottom in terms of being a “good place to work”. Havng watched their new contracting strategy-I tend to agree whole heartedly. And unforuntately real change to this agency will not happen till the three star… Continue reading Checking all the blocks
Category: Job Hunt
How I spend my days now.
The job hunt continues:
They just opened a gym in our new building.
Don’t laugh-there is more truth here than you realize.
Across the pond
Greetings from Frankfurt Germany. I am transiting through here on my way back to points east. What am I doing here, you ask? Going here to work for a while-at least for the short term, while I work, search, and hope some things fall into place. Whether they will or not is still TBD. I took… Continue reading Across the pond
Upheaval.
“Six years of college down the drain.” Today, the carefully ordered world of yours truly ( and that of my section of my company) was blown apart. In a situation familiar to many Americans-I am now facing an uncertain future-vis a vis continued employment here in Shopping Mall USA. That might be a blessing in… Continue reading Upheaval.
The inventory……..

Arrival
S.O. , cat, and I arrived in one piece. We transited Dulles enroute to Shopping Mall USA. That sucked with a capital S. Immigration, getting the cat cleared, and making our connecting flight was all a challenge. Nothing makes you appreciate Japan like the dealing with surly TSA people and American baggage handlers. I was… Continue reading Arrival
These proceedings are closed……….losing the battle-hoping to win the war!
I got blindly drunk last night-just barely stumbling onto the last train back out of Yokohama. The S.O. was none too pleased when I darkened our doorstep at 1:30 am in as foul a humor as I have been in years. It is 6 am now and my head hurts. When is that damn coffee going… Continue reading These proceedings are closed……….losing the battle-hoping to win the war!
Paradise Lost……. or, the surge is succeeding.
Not that surge. The one that is slowly ripping apart the beautiful life I spent 8 years perfecting. Like it’s counterpart in Iraq, it is just as frustrating though. Now conscience wakes despair That slumber’d, wakes the bitter memory Of what he was, what is, and what must be Worse; of worse deeds worse sufferings… Continue reading Paradise Lost……. or, the surge is succeeding.
