I just realized that I never uploaded new news since the 29th of May, shame on me. Well, you can read my interim news below and I will just update since that one. How is that?

A couple of job notes: Last Friday (6/18) I went to Atlanta and had a job interview with a company called Experian. I have not heard if they want to bring me back down for more interviews or offer me a position. So I am waiting on that. I am trying to secure a position at UT as a tutor for the athletic department. This is just an hourly position, but I will still be able to make some money in the meantime. I was contacted, today as a matter of fact, from Lincoln Memorial University about being an adjunct professor in the fall. This lead is still in the infant stages as she doesn’t know if she will have the class. I do have other applications in at Pellissippi State Community College and at Roane State Community College, but no word on either of them.

Eric is growing like a frickin’ weed. He is growing intellectually the past few days. He is mimicking us more, both in sounds and in action. When you say “Where’s Eric”, he puts his hands over his eyes and then you are supposed to say “Peek-a-BOO”. Also, he will clap when you sing Patty-Cake. It’s just amazing.

I thought that I was going to have no new job news except for a couple of NOs. Well, I have a couple of NOs and I have one company that will probably be calling me in the next two weeks to see if there is any fit for me. The bonus is that it is here in Tennessee, out in Oak Ridge.

In the mean time, the home business that I mention in my 05/29/04 update is with a company called Melaleuca, out of Idaho. They are a Wellness Company with currently 5 lines of products for the home and person. It is based on Consumer Direct Marketing plan which means that I don’t have stock and inventory, distribute any products or collect any money. I enroll people who who want to buy the products or who want to start their own home business. I am planning to use the money that I generate from this business for fun. I’d like to be able run a few more marathons a year, get a road bike, etc.

The three of us here in Tennessee have been sick, we are all getting over some illness, that started with Eric. As a result, I have not ran all week! I plan on doing some of that tomorrow, maybe a nice 10 miler or something of a light stroll.
