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