Loose Ends

Thought I'd skate on the blog post a bit today (the ZERO degree temps have frozen my brain) and do a quick wrap up of a few past blog entries.

UNEMPLOYMENT SNAFU'S - Reuben stepped up to the plate and made certain I received the missing week of benefits ... well ... kind of. He actually had the WRONG week released (my waiting week rather than the week I was eligible for benefits) so I'm guessing at some point I'll have to revisit this situation, but for now it is resolved!

JOB SEARCH - I am finally starting to get some call backs on applications I've made. Tomorrow, I have an interview for a part-time paralegal position with the County and Monday I have an interview for an accounting position (my first career) with a company here in town (with a population of 3500, these positions are few and far between). I am becoming cautiously optimistic.

GET BACK TO DIRT - You just never know who might find your blog. Turns out the producer/director (Jeff Bowden) of the "back to my roots" film, Get Back to Dirt, happened upon my blog on New Year's Eve. He was kind enough to send me a free copy of the DVD and ... are you ready?? ... an autographed poster! I will My son will be absolutely beside himself! I'll be sure to post a review of the DVD upon its arrival! I know there are a few of you who will actually read that review!

See?? 2008 is stepping up to the proverbial plate!

Best of luck on the interviews. Hope that works out for ya.

Cool beans on the DVD and poster! That's sweet!

A few months ago I made a crack out a local radio station and their interview of a guy who wrote a book. Turns out the guys wife was Googling his name and found my blog. He emailed me and said he'd send a copy of his book if I would do a review. So I did. Hell, a free book! haha

FREE is my favorite "F" word!

Good luck on the interviews!

Dana said...

Matt-Man, I did ask him to make it out to my son - gotta protect my image!

Jay, being new to blog world I tend to forget just how all encompassing it really is. Sometimes it just seems so intimate that I forget strangers lurk!

Leighann, LIAR!!

Congrats on the DVD and poster that is cool. Someone read my book reviews and has now asked me to review his book, and is sending me a copy I thought that was so cool.

Good luck with the job hunt, you will find something.

Good luck on your job possibilities! Pretty neat to get free stuff!

Dana said...

Jeff, thanks! I'm hoping for the best!

PP, if there is one thing I've learned in the blog world it's that you just never know who might find you - or whom you might find!

Dana said...
