Jetsetting

Well, I depart for Tacoma tonight. My wonderful friend Alex is kind (or crazy) enough to pick me up at 6 AM. What a loon! ;P I have had a wonderful visit with my family; I was even able to see my old friends Susie and Dave. But I do miss Tae and Bailey. =)

no job

Well, I was showing Zack yesterday that I have submitted my resume to 50 different job positions. Maybe one day… ;P My pop and I were babbling, and we came across the idea of me applying to FedEx. So I did. We’ll see if that goes anywhere. Zack leaves for Purdue tonight. Good luck on that 4.0, buddy.

WHEW!

Almost 1 mile of height, 11 miles of distance. I don’t think my knees have ever known quite so much pain. ;P I will sleep well tonight.

Even with an easy electronic diary system, I still cannot remember to send in updates. I am enjoying the beautiful weather and scenery of Anchorage, AK. Today I will go on a grueling hike up a mountain. Apparently we Alaskans are so intimidated by these gorgeous companions that we feel the need to scale them. ;P

no go

The job I was quite interested in Japan was looking for a candidate to start in mid August. Unfortunately they had selected two other candidates that apparently met their needs. Here is to hoping the next opportunity is even better.

on pins and needles

Well, the saga continues. I was recently contacted by a small Western firm in Japan looking to hire an additional employee. Not only are the looking for a long-term, full-time candidate, but they are looking for a Linux specialist. The fact that they are a Western company that caters to the Western market within Japan is an ideal opportunity for me. I recently returned the gentleman’s email, and now I play the waiting game…
