Finally I got off my butt and submitted my applications for employment to the University of Michigan.

Note that I haven't actually applied for any jobs yet, except temporary employment. U of M has a system where applicants submit bids for jobs instead of applying for every individual position. The main application stays on file for a year, and as long as it is on record you're able to bid for any open position.

Right now there are seven positions I'm almost certainly qualified for, and one where things might be a stretch. Now, as soon as I stop procrastinating on those cover letters....


Update, 6:25 p.m. Four resumes emailed with cover letters, mainly for real estate positions. The rest I will need to either fax or call.

Even a little progress is progress.

Good job! Hope it works out for you.

Good for you! Keep on top of that, because new jobs open up all the time. Every two to four weeks is a reasonable rate to stop by there and fill out bid forms. Unfortunately, it never really worked out too well for me, because all the jobs I ever got were because I knew someone. See if you can find an insider to give you some props; it's the best way to do it.

yay! brace yourself for the fact that the University is extremely slow about hiring.

but still, yay! go you!

next wednesday I'm busy. Shall we resume our schedule of getting together every other wednesday the wednesday after that?

And are you busy this Saturday night? 'cause I think you should bring Sarah and Jeff to go to Monkey rampant with us if you don't have other plans...

Monkey Rampant? I'm almost afraid to ask. (I am busy Saturday, actually. Jeff is running a sealed tournament and has even graciously bought cards for me.)

Yes, let's definitely resume our Wednesday nights. I miss hanging out with you.
