The Job Search

Posted by Kevin at 11:28 AM 3 comments

So the time has come for me to start looking for permanent employment. I don't think I ever realized how time consuming this can be, but it is actually a little exciting trying to find a job that will work well for me. Currently the plan is to work for a year or so in a job that will subsidize graduate school. The dilemma is finding the right job for me. I'm finding that a lot of the jobs out there in my field are for financial analysts... well, I don't want to be an accountant, so that narrows the field somewhat. Currently I have applied for several positions that look interesting, but it is too soon to hear back from any of them yet. When I do, all of you who read this blog will be the second to know (Blair will be the first). The other problem is where do I want to move to? I know of several places that I have been that I loved while I was there. I really enjoyed Denver, Phoenix, Portland, and Raleigh (NC). I guess we'll just have to wait and see...

So it’s March. When I was in 1st grade, my teacher Mrs. S had a laminated calendar that we would circle around every morning to talk about that day of the week. I distinctly remember sitting criss-cross applesauce on a vibrantly colored carpet and learning that March "comes in like a lion and out like a lamb". It might have been the velcroed animal cut-outs that we were allowed to attach to the calendar, but I instantly thought that this was the best month of the year. What other months are associated with lions and lambs?
As a part of the Bagley family’s attempt to be more positive and optimistic, I think I am going to adopt back my old nostalgia for the month of March. This may result in a laminated calendar.
