WAITING FOR THE PHONE TO RING

I have several interviews and job leads this week. However, today the fun doesn't start till 2pm when I meet with the agency which tells me that they can put me to work in a temp capacity. I've been told this before only to discover it is just a ploy to get me listed with them for possible executive level perm positions. However, I expressed this concern and they confirmed again that they would be able to get me temp jobs. So, fingers crossed!!!

And, now, I sit infront of my iBook. I am dressed in ironed black cotten slacks (no pleats, but with cuffs), a business casual button down blue shirt and my sensible (I hate that word) shoes. My hair freshly cut. I sit waiting for the cell phone to sound. To pass the time, I scroll thru monster, craigslist and hotjobs. My pal, Don, has led me to some postings for city jobs and I've done my best, but find the many hoops confusing. And, I do not understand the job profiles for these city positions. Much corporate and civic "speak" or buzz words.

So, I wait.
