The Search has Begun

The school week ended decently. Thursday was smooth with dice-rolling application to select which students would answer questions. This captivated them, and actually had just about everybody wanting to participate. Went through nearly a ream of paper making packets for my Jury Duty week - pity the copier won't staple any more. Then again on Friday morning, which was a "play" day since the afternoon was the outdoor Carnival. Where I got stuck on the reverse dunk tank (water balloon in a cradle that gets popped over the head of the volunteer - and we had more volunteers than pitchers) for hours and took a good deal of sun.

Then, the weekend. Went to see Thor with the geekier contingent from my trivia group. A fun movie, done better than I expected. Saturday was Free Comic Book Day, but I am becoming less of a regular at my shop, and was annoyed by the early birds with their entire families grabbing one of everything times five, not making an orderly line, etc. Then it rained, so I had to postpone my yard work, but the sun shone by 3pm and I did front and back yards (about which my back is currently complaining). Been getting good use of out Netflix since Sony Online was victimized by hackers and shut down all their games, leaving me without my DC Universe Online.

Mother's Day - a nice brunch at the University Holiday Inn. It is a teaching hotel, and the special event brunches are quite nice. Breakfast buffet, carving station, cold salads (and seafood), very long hot selections, then dessert stations. A success.

As for the search, I have started getting my resume back out, this time concentrating on banks - teller or a step up from there. I have background in loans, I am math oriented, etc. Long talk with the wife about her needing to make a decision whether she wants to participate in the income stream, which she did for a few months last year, then gave up the search when I landed in the County, or force me to work two jobs. Not sure where things are headed, but feet are on the path.

Jury Duty in the morning. The unknown. Don't know how long I will be there. Don't know if they will have WiFi (bringing a book AND the iPad). But I wouldn't mind being away from the school for the whole week.
