Where have I been for the last 20 days? Visiting with friends, family and fungi of course! So a lot of the opportunities that I had going on earlier are no longer in the hopper, and when new opportunities weren't coming in guess what happened? Down, down, down, down went the mood! I am thankful to report that things seem to be on the upswing.

I made some changes to my resume and my salary requirements and I am now seeing more movement in the professional job arena. I had a fantastic interview with a technology company that sells services to non-profits. I met the hiring manager and he and I were like kindred spirits. Honestly, I don't think I have felt this way about a potential boss since I met my best friend A. I am going to take this as a good sign.

Tomorrow I am heading downtown to interview with a professional society, which is quite exciting to me as well. They are going to be located downtown for a bit and then they are moving to a place that is near my current pad.

In other news, the lease renewal has come up at my current place and they have the audacity to raise my rent. I wrote them a letter stating why I didn't think this was warranted and hope that they will continue to negotiate with me and keep me at my status quo. It was a minimal raise, but when you have been unemployed for more than 2 months, you're not very excited about this potential increase.

So there are many decisions brewing and I am not a large fan!

Hope you're all doing well. Toodloo for now. SB
