It Only Hurts When I Blog

Greetings, Chief High Bloggy-mucks.

Kudos to Tom Krepcio for today's illustration - I pulled it off the web but I think it's a good idea to give him credit for it.

Well, when I posted my resume the other day, I didn't know it would be like this.

I miss my perfectly calm and uninterrupted life already!

I think it's time to turn back the clock and start over.

Our 'regular' phone has 2 messages on it that I haven't had time to respond to.

My cell phone has at least 4 messages that I haven't had time to respond to.

I am playing 'phone tag' with a couple of people. I need to meet with someone later today.

And the emails and letters keep on a-comin. I have had TWENTY-THREE email messages since June 12th in my special email that is for job related stuff.

I even got a LETTER (yes, snail mail) yesterday from the State of Tennessee, after hearing nothing for the longest time.

I even have DRAMA to report - after THREE days I am already in a tug of war between two different recruiters over one company's open position.

I also had another company in Memphis contacting local representatives in Nashville to tell them I am 'on the market' as the email put it.

Is that a good thing, or should I be feeling like a sack of sugar in the grocery store?

I guess it's nice to feel wanted.

I guess it's nice to feel validated.

I guess it's nice to know my skill set is being looked at with interest.

I want to go hide under a rock!

What are YOU going to do today, Karen?

Hide under a rock, thank you very much.

Well, I'm going to keep this short - I've got a lot to do today and the phone will start ringing off the hook soon...

TTFN and send me a secretary and a bodyguard please.
