What with everyone getting back into the swing of things, not to mention mourning the end of summer, things have been predictably slow this week. So after reviewing the various re-postings and following up on my recently submitted applications, my days have been refreshingly light, work-wise.
Never one to sit idle though, I decided to attend to other areas of my job search, namely updating my wardrobe and shopping for a laptop. :) All within my small budget, of course. To that end, I hit a few of the sample sales available in my area, and netted a few nice finds. If anyone is currently looking to find well-made clothing at a great discount, I strongly suggest contacting any wholesalers in your area that are open to the public.
As for the new laptop, a friend of mine who is also a tech writer bought a Gateway last year, and has been very pleased with her purchase. So I was checking out Gateway last week, and was pleased with the specs available for their budget models. But this past Friday I was at a dinner party, and a guest who is a web designer leered when I mentioned Gateway. I am now consequently wondering if I should go with another manufacturer. As always, any suggestions would be appreciated. :)
That's the scoop. Hopefully things will pick up soon on the job search front. Until then, I am enjoying the less-harried pace of my days, and remaining convinced that somewhere in the near future, I am going to find that dream job of mine.
Happy job hunting!
