7-30-2006: The Life & Times of ORD, Ch. 15 - Trip #2 Over, But Still Crazy

Hey, everyone. Trip #2 ended officially Friday morning at 12:15 AM. There were many things I liked, and a few I didn't like. I thought that the entire San Diego Comic-Con International was awesome. Also, I enjoyed visiting the city (which is now my favorite city with at least 1 million in population). I did increase my network of contacts for any career opportunities that may pop up in the near future. We saw "Monster House", and I thought that was a fun film to watch. Of course, I got to meet the Foster's gang -- YAY!!! :D Those were the things that I liked.

What I didn't like -- two potential job interviews never happened. One of the interviews were cancelled, and the other one wasn't for the position I wanted (it wasn't even an IT position). I'd be lying, if I said I wasn't crushed. And of course, it was over. Goodbyes are tough. I nearly got teary when I had to get ready to depart. The 1 hour, 35 minute delay in Houston's Bush Intercontinental wasn't fun, either. Bad weather forced many delays in flights, and at least one cancellation.

Trip #2 may be done, but not my job search. I'm gonna keep fighting until I've done it.

The craziness does not end there. I may be moving soon. Good, right? It's not the move I wanted, because my folks simply want to move to another house. The home itself isn't bad, but what about the neighborhood? The other side of my city is usually worse (not to say that my current neighborhood is great -- it isn't), and I'm not exactly cool with that. Plus, I'd be without Internet access for some time, and that does not bode well for me for job searching.

So, yeah, I MAY be moving, but it isn't the move I wanted. 1,600+ miles west, please!! I miss CA and my friends, already!

Also, the workplace isn't going well. We're getting a new manager soon, and I hope it isn't me.
