Mostly this process is one of combing the job listings and doing the work. But there is also a fair amount of dreaming. It's my adult equivalent of "what do I want to be when I grow up?" With every job description I open I have another chance to fantasize myself into that roll.
Grant writer? Texas Historic Trails Director-I have read Lone Star by TR Feherenbach-Development director for an assisted living facility. The list goes on and on.
Last night I applied for a job as Channel Marketing Manager for Dun and Bradstreet. And that was fun. They own Hoovers, which is a healthy spit away from my house. And the job is based in Short Hills NJ which is another spit away from where I grew up. I could be based in Austin and fly to my hometown once a month for a week. They don't know that's the plan but I'll certainly let them know.
Today I'm most interested in the Texas Historic Trails position. How fun would that be? I grew up on "back roads adventures". This seems like a logical extension. Here's the part where technology comes in. I put in my application via the net. No photocopies or stamps involved.
I received an email from the THTC folks. I need to sign the application. Since I can't send a pen through the ether I've done the next best thing. I took a photo of my signature with my iPhone and emailed it. How cool is that. I love technology!
As an addendum- I HATE COMPUTERS!!!
I had moved all my folders the other day and when I tried to put the photo of my signature into iPhoto it wouldn't map to the new location. ARGH!!! I am now re-importing 7500 photos. I hate computers.
--and as an additional note-I just inadvertantly deleted all 12gbs of photos.
