Day 92 – Transition – thinking beyond

Image via Wikipedia

Minor set back in the physical health.  Had been feeling pain in my foot every once in a while when I was walking.  This weekend it turned into a more constant pain, mainly when I took weight off of that foot.  So today I went in to the doctor to find out what is going on.  It is not the bones, muscles or tendons, so he thinks the ligaments are inflamed.  I received orthotics for my shoes, and support for my foot that I need to wear when walking around.  No 5 mile walks for a while.  After a week with no walks and if it is feeling better, I can try a mile and see if gets worse.  If not I can build up from there until I’m back up to my old route.  I think I can still lift weights only one would effect that area.

It hard to think beyond the interview I had last week.  I so want the job, that it is hard to keep fully concentrating on finding other jobs to apply for.  This weekend, I found a good one, wrote the cover letter and adjusted my resume.  This process seemed to take longer and had more errors due to my not concentrating.
Today I search through the adds, and there was a lot to look at.  It seemed like the number today increased significantly over what it has been available since the beginning of July.  Even Boeing had quite a few jobs.  For Friday at Boeing in Seattle I found 23 where it has been down below 5 on a pretty consistent basis.  Microsoft and Expedia also seemed to have more jobs listed.  These have consistently been listing a good number of jobs, but today seemed like there were more. 
I am hoping that this is a sign of the flood gates starting to open.  Corporations are supposedly sitting on a large amounts of cash.  Maybe now they will start spending some of it, and start getting people back to work. 
Even though the number of job adds was up, I couldn’t find what I was looking for.  Maybe as the week progresses.  
I have another interview scheduled.  Different that last week’s interview.  It is not until the 4th so I have more than enough time to prepare.  I think I will start seeing what information is available later this week.
