I chilled. It was good.

My mom and dad stopped by today. (I’m house sitting in Racine, WI.) They were passing through on their way back to Minnesota from a wedding in Georgia. It was good to see them for a little bit. And, they sure are having some good driving weather! It’s gorgeous here today.

I got two calls back about good project manager jobs in the MIlwaukee area today. I’m expecting more as “the word gets out” and as I apply for more jobs. Feel free to check out my updated resume.
And, to the recruiters who are calling, I’m not spilling any info or details about any job searches until after I’ve accepted an offer, and then only as appropriate. Just want to be clear about what I’m writing about and what I disclose via this blog. I’m mostly just encouraged right now and felt like sharing. ![]()

I’m in the best workout routine I’ve been in for about the past decade. I feel it. It feels healthy, positive and energizing.
I’m also spending more time by water than I have in a LONG time, at least since high school or early college, hanging out at the lake, waterskiing and the like.
I’m also learning a lot about me, and everyone else in the process.

Couldn’t pass up spreading this around some more. I often get crap from friends about how I’m online or using my phone for stuff. Hey, a phone is for more than just breakfast! (It’s only 71 seconds long.)

…a few times a week, will change your life.
…could lead you to seeing a couple get married (a few minutes ago).
…could lead you to seeing an old man and his bride strolling along, with huge smiles, just because they can walk and smile.
…could lead you to seing a US Marine recruit do a hard workout with two other Marines.
…could lead you to seeing more of yourself on the inside than you may have ever imagined possible.
What’s next?

The changes in my life over the past couple months, and the changes coming in the next couple months are radical and exciting. I’m about to download OpenOffice.org, for the first time, ever! I’ve had amazing connections with Microsoft and have been doing work in IT for more than a decade. So, here I go again with something else that’s a major change. I already got a Mac; now I’m getting OpenOffice.org. I’ll likely get the new iPhone next month too.
Oh, and the beautiful day part… It’s sunny again. As my friend texted this morning, “The sky is perfect.”
What are you doing to *embrace* change?

I bet that most of the time you do trial and error, or you become a sucker to ads. I bet you try to find a recommendation. Maybe it’s a server in a restaurant. Maybe it’s a grocery store clerk. Maybe it’s a random stranger. If it’s not one of those, I bet you go with whatever you think is the best ad.

I don’t bet. If I did, these would be some of the bets I might make.
Word of mouth is important because we care about the input into our lives. We want value. We want to leverage the deals we can get when someone may have an in or may be able to help us get a deal. We not only want quality, we also want value. I think that our satisfaction, as it relates to quality and value, is higher when there is a positive, word of mouth recommendation.

Really, I don’t miss them at all.
That’s worthy of it’s own blog post.
