Week 1- Tuesday

This week is a short week due to the Martin Luther King Day Holiday, and once the long weekend passed. I found it exceedingly difficult to get out of bed Tuesday morning, I fought back the thoughts of 'why bother' and got dressed to go to the gym. I hate the gym in January, but at least at 8:30 A.M. it's not nearly as bad as the crowds at 6 A.M. or even the crowds between 4 to 9 P.M.

Once home and showered I got to work, sorta. I filed for Unemployment, and then re-registered with the required Illinois Skills Match. I already have my COBRA and 401K roll over situated. I intended to spend the day reading "The Job-Hunter's Survival Guide" by Richard Bolles book, and doing the work with the book. Instead, I e-mailed all the temporary agencies I've signed up with to let them know I'm available again and tweaked my LinkedIN profile. Then I mopped the kitchen and spent a couple hours volunteering at an after-school program.

With the days remaining in this shortened week I'm planning on finishing Bolles' book, and cracking cracking "Do What You Are" by Tieger and Barron-Tieger. I'm somewhat avoiding internet searches right now, I want to get a better idea of what I'm looking for, and what's out there first.

Quick question: Has anyone checked out working for the census?
