This first thought has nothing to do with my search for employment, but rather an exciting series of events. Two of my most-recent exes experienced some excitement in their lives recently. One was married two weekends ago and another became engaged on Friday. I’m actually happy for both. But it makes me feel like Dane Cook’s character in the movie “Good Luck Chuck,” not that I’ve seen it yet. I’ll look for it in the Red Box later this week.I decided to make Friday a fun and free day. The Friday before last was slow and boring, and it affected my mood going into the weekend. So I was determined to make this past Friday a good one. I went to the pool in the morning and washed my car in the afternoon. I know, exciting!

I ended up playing golf on Saturday and, evening though it was hot, I had a great time. I need to look for more golf deals and take advantage of this extended break.

Monday was spent trying to figure out how to apply for a federal job. I found a 14-month contract position that’s open, but applying is a pain in my arse. I had to request a college transcript for the first time in my life. It made me realize that NO ONE has ever asked to see proof of my college education. Heck, for all they know, I could have gone to Bob’s College of Knowledge instead of Ohio University. Do they have a good football team?
