Police
Raleigh, NC This is based on yesterday. It was a day that was exciting and one that did not end until late, so I crashed out before I could make an entry in the journal. I started off the day doing my usual, running around late for an appointment that I had plenty of time to get to. Some of my friends say I’m a piddler, but whatever it is, I’m always stressing at the last minute trying to get out the door. I had a 10 AM interview with Charlie Hinton, a prominent lawyer in Raleigh. He happens to be the father of Morgan, the wife of the couple where I’ve stayed this week. As I...

Raleigh, NC I’m sitting on the couch, next to Bob. He’s getting ready for a presentation tomorrow. He had a big day, passing step 1 of a big certification. Congrats sir. I had my interview with Bill Riddick this morning. I learned about a guy from a small city who has made his way. He owns his own IT company with 50+ employees. Very down to earth. Cruised around Raleigh afterwards and came back to Bob’s place. It turns out Elizabeth Dole did give me the right number. I called the DC area code and was connected to her office. I pitched my project. They said to send an email....

Raleigh, NC I’ve had good days and bad days. I’ve had days where I accomplished a lot and others where I was lazy. Today was a mix of all 4. I will say it was long but prosperous. Monday came with goodbyes from my Dad and my Mom taking me to the airport. We had breakfast together and then at 11:50 I was on my way to DC. I had a layover there and was, I say was, slated to be in Raleigh at 3:10 PM. I was to get off the plane, get my bags, and head out to a 4:30 interview with Bill Riddick, the owner of an IT company in town. It didn’t exactly go down like that. In one of the...

Rochester, NY Easter weekend is wrapping up and it’s been one to remember. A new tradition was started today: Masters at the Harrison’s. After morning church and a quick lunch, the Easter festivities began. Then came chicken wing dip (the best). Mom busted out the veggie tray and our family friends, the Chenette’s, arrived. In tow was a tub full of shrimp, pre peeled and ready to be devoured. All the while, Phil Mickelson was battling to win his first major. For the first 11 holes, he carried the weight of our house and most of the Augusta fans on his back. We’re not...

Rochester, NY It’s Friday. You ain’t got no job. Let’s go bowling. I’m sitting at my sisters place, hanging with her boyfriend Bryan. Sitting in the couch, drinking a brew. It’s Friday. Brew time. It’s good to relax and not worry about who I’m interviewing and where I’m going. I went to dinner with my parents and their friends tonight. Dinner started at 5:30. The food was fish buffet stuff. Very good. Some crab legs, clam chowder, and various fish stuff. I bowled tonight. I stink. At the end of the first game, I was last to go for our team of...
