Get Mike a Job

Posing with a real live Clydesdale

To save money while I was looking for a new job I started watching both kids full time instead of sending them to day care. Besides saving about $1400 per month, I had a great time with the kids.

I tried to take them some place fun each morning. I got a parking pass to Grant’s Farm and the Zoo and we went to each location at least once a week. We would usually … Continue Reading

His photo is not as geeky as mine

Eric emailed me when he saw my campaign. No he didn’t copy me, but great minds think alike, right? If you know anyone at Microsoft please give Eric a shout.

I'm sayin' there's a chance.

I know it seems too good to be true, but you can still get me a job and win prizes. Here are some questions you may be asking:

I Thought You Got a Job?
For those of you following along, I did get a job for the month of May. The problem is I was a square peg in a round hole. The people and my boss were really cool, but it was not a good fit so I decided to head back into the job market.

Are You Crazy?
Probably, a little. I know I am taking a big risk, but I felt like I needed to be honest with my recent employer and left on good terms. I’ll let you know when my wife let’s me sleep inside the house again.

Why Should I Care?
Well I wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t. But if you do you can still win prizes!

I forgot, what kind of job are you looking for?
The previous description was a little vague, so I updated the job description to better explain what I offer a potential employer. I’m also looking for short term projects to tide me over in the meantime.

Woo! I got a lot done today. This is actually my first WordPress blog so there was a bit of a learning curve. I think I have a good start. A few more tweaks tomorrow and I will be ready to start promoting on a mass level.

I sure hope this works because I need a job. Check out these beautiful kids that rely on me for food and shelter:

Ivan and Isabella

I added a resume, contest details, job description and others.

I really liked that Minimahl theme, but I couldn’t get the secondary sidebar to work. This Vesper theme is pretty cool, and I like the orange. You like?
