Welcome to the jungle.

Thursday night, I was putting up laundry and my wife was laying in bed, when all of a sudden we heard a gunshot. Followed by six or seven more gunshots. I was like, really? I haven’t heard gunshots in a long while. They’re not nearly as common here as they were in Oregon. Later when the cops came out, we found out there were bullet holes in a car parked on the street. The cop took pictures and picked up the shells, and left. No one was hurt, as far as I can tell. They towed the car the next day. I don’t know whose it was anyway. But after the cops left, I found another shell in my driveway. Whoever was shooting was directly in front of my house.  Scary.

I’ve updated my resume and have been posting it on job sites and sending it to potential employers.  Working at a restaurant just isn’t going to cut it much longer, what with twins on the way and everything.  I haven’t heard back from any employers, but a few recruiters have contacted me.  I’ve heard through events at school and whatnot that recruiters are really the way to get the good jobs in my field these days.  So, I’m glad they saw my resume and said “here’s someone I want in my portfolio to offer to my clients.” With any luck this will lead to gainful employment some time in July, or August at the latest.  Crossing my fingers!

I added a page on here for my resume, if you want to see it.  I wasn’t at all happy with Word’s html rendering of it, so I had to pretty much rewrite all of the html by hand.
