BicMan.org 2.01

So, restarting my blog the exact way it was somehow merited a 2.0, yet a complete reboot on a different software and a different webhost only gets 2.01.  Well, that’s because this is what 2.0 should’ve been, and we’re certainly not to 3.0 yet.

Why am I posting again?  I have a lot of internal turmoil, and I hope this can help to resolve some of that.  I’m about to start a full-scale job search, and posting about it might help me to keep my spirits up, as well as give me some sort of accountability.  I posted a question to reddit on how to increase my marketability, and one answer stuck out.  The poster mentioned a strategy where you assume 50 resume submissions for every interview and 4 interviews before you get an offer.  With that, you create a 200 square grid and a 4 square grid, and check off the boxes when you submit resumes and get interviews respectively.  I think I might do this, and I think I might do this electronically on this blog.

On a side note, I close on my house tomorrow,  and I am super excited, and super-stressed.  The stress is mainly the fear of the unknown since I’ve never owned a house before, and there’s so much to do, and so little money to do it.  But, I’m certain that the excitement will overwhelm the stress once I can play in my new house around noon tomorrow.  (I’m taking the day off.)

So, for those of you who like WordPress better than MT, thank Daniel since he pointed me to Dreamhost, and they made this installation so incredibly easy.  Now that I’ve posted this, hopefully I can feel like this is off of my mind for today because I really need to get some more work done before I leave today.   The fact that I am slowly beginning to hate my job has made it very difficult to concentrate.
