Happenings

Okay, I've been remiss in keeping in touch here, so I'm going to provide a quick update:

- My weight: First week was good. I lost 2 1/2 pounds!! This week might be sobering though, as the weather has prevented us from walking in the morning ... but, I have been good in what I've eaten, so maybe I'll maintain that weight loss.

- Employment 1: All quiet on the consulting contract front. This isn't unusual, but it's annoying.

- Employment 2: I have 5 applications against 11 positions with the UN in New York, 2 applications in for Geneva (of which one confirmed the received my file - that's a first for a UN Agency!), and one for a position in Rome.

- Employment 3: I might be getting an interview from the company with whom my buddy - A Voice From the Past - works. It's a software sales job, but the company is phenominal and the monetary potential after a couple year's of work is HUGE ... Fingers crossed.

- Shoulder: I was supposed to have had a Surgeon's Referral done by my doctor, but it's been over 3 weeks since my visit and I haven't had a call from any surgeon. Time to double check what the @#$@# is going on.

- New Zealand: Prior to having the company close, we were planning a 3-week vacation at Christmas to New Zealand with our bestest friends. They were going to fly in Jakarta to meet us, but there's no way I could, nor my wife, ever get 3 weeks at Christmas from our new (soon to be) employers, so I canceled our tickets. I had booked Business Class using our Air Canada points. Now, after having paid a cancellation fee, they've been put back into my account. It's a healthy 250,000+ points now! Time to clear off debts and plan a vacation!!! LOL.

That's about all for the time being. Nothing too exciting.

Sorry.
