Just Grinding Through

Just been grinding through this week. The good news is that I picked up a three week contract gig through the end of August. It's nothing particularly sexy but I can at least put some private equity experience on my CV and at this point and it gets me out of the house. It's also been a good week with making contacts hopefully leading to something permanent and tomorrow I am meeting with the president of the TX division of a company. Tomorrow's meeting could be good but it's up to me to sell it but after all, he opened the door which is all I can ask.

The good kinda got shat on yesterday when I came out to my car after work only to find that it had been hit in the garage. Great. If nothing else it's just a huge distraction that puts me out of my car and throws my schedule. Since I moved here with that car it has taken more abuse from others than I would have ever thought in Houston. Whatever, material things come and go.

What's for dinner? Halibut w/ chili vinaigrette

Glad money and experience keep find their way to you.
Good luck with your open door.
Asshole (the guy who hit your car)! I don't suppose he left a note.
I see you still know your way around the kitchen.

Hey there handsome,
Glad to see things are moving at least and keeping you (somewhat) out of trouble.
Things will pick up... I know they will. It is a terrible economy but those of us that fight and grind and keep plugging will, in the end, persevere. It takes strength and conviction and that you have - in abundance.
Drop me a line I would love to hear your voice!
The food looks wonderful, as always!
And kimmy! Fish is good for you!
You know that! But a good juicy steak would be nice too...
HUGS!
