Job Search: Resumed

[dewline]

I'm e-mailing out resumés and checking job boards again. Networking, too. Yes, attending to this account is something I include in my job search diary under "Networking/Research/Promotion". Yes, I have to maintain a job search diary. It may be the law re: (un)employment insurance, but it's also become a good idea in itself in order to maintain some degree of self-discipline or self-regulation.

The weather today is good cause as well to stick close to my desk in the basement. Freezing rain, thunder and lightning...and I don't envy anyone who has to be outside for any reason today in Ottawa and Gatineau. Tomorrow, Environment Canada tells me, will be somewhat better. I don't expect to be in much need of cleats by the time I go out for whatever the day's travels have to be.

Good luck with job search. I also recommend staying in the basement until next week. Icestorm here I think rivals '98.

Not sure about that, but it hasn't directly affected me this time. So there's that perception bias I have to cope with distorting my understanding, right?

[warriorsavant]

i think ‘98 was worse in being much more widespread, and power out for a week. now maybe more intense in a much smaller area. hard to quantify “local intensity,” but do seem to be more trees down locally.

In that, I find echoes of the derecho that hit Ottawa-Gatineau last May.

This kind of weather...

...is exactly why I moved south! :D
