More work at home..

So after another eventful Monday at work, mostly with routine junk, email updates, and Staff Meetings that are normal for Mondays, I went home with even more work to do. No, I didn’t give Red Hat another try. After that debacle I needed to actually accomplish something, so I started work on the Job Search 20003 Access database. Here’s my thoughts:

I wanted something where I could list 2 things. One, a list of all the jobs and companies I’ve already sent resumes to. Secondly, a list of all the “top” companies to work for in my target cities, and links to their websites, especially if they have job postings on them. Then, I wanted to be able to access these lists in a number of ways, either by searching out the Company Name, or giving a list by city.

I have a bunch of other thoughts, and I certainly don’t have anything close to the finished product right now, but I’ve got a start, and it’s something to grow with. I think the next step is going to be finding lists of “top” companies in each of the metro areas that Angela and I are interested in living in. Once I start gathering that data it’ll be easier to envision what queries and reports I’d want on to run on it. So, anyone know where I could find such lists for Columbus, OH; all of North Carolina; Richmond and Roanoke, VA; Knoxville and Chattanooga, TN; Columbia, SC; or Atlanta?

    I got the first check from the CafePress store in the mail yesterday. It was for $26.30, which, when combined with the $14-15 I’ve got coming from the Amazon links at the end of the year will make a nice little donation to Prevent Child Abuse. Of note, yes I have decided to go ahead…

    No really, I’m going to be here, probably for a few hours, some time this weekend.

    OK, it’s an excuse, I know. But you know those projects I was going to work on last night? They really relied on having an internet connection to accomplish most of what I wanted to do. Unfortunately, RoadRunner did not see fit to provide a working internet connection! I’ve done the support email thing, since…

  • Echoing my wife

    I wanted to add my whole-hearted agreement with my wife’s post from this evening. Coming home tonight to discover just how awful things are, and how much of what I visited last summer is gone, really puts the stress of starting a new job in perspective, doesn’t it? It’s nice to know that I’m now…

  • That explains it!

    With everything else going on, I didn’t even realize it was Friday the 13th until I went to Steven’s blog and saw that link. What I really didn’t know is how it obviously can carry over into the entire week the way it has. *L* Follow these topics: Uncategorized
