In other news…

This week it finally time to dive into the job search seriously, which I think adequately explains my lack of posting.  Turns out it’s more exhaustive of a process than I remember.  Overall, I’ve applied for upwards of 30 positions all within the IT support realm.  This coming week I’ll be doing a lot of the same but in the weeks following I’ll have to open a few other options and allow for something less than ideal.  The aforementioned idea of persistence job hunting might end up having more truth to it than I hoped

Business aside, I still feel very much on vacation and the temptation to spend the day at the beach or park has overtaken me more than once.  I intend to  blog about a few specific places I’ve hit around town but for the purpose of this post I’ll just throw up a few pictures I’ve taken while spelunking about random places.

One difference I’ve taken note of is the amount of park use here as opposed to the midwest or maybe even the States as a whole.  Weekends at parks are absolutely packed, making it considerably difficult to do a playground workout or even find an open bench.  Still it’s quite nice to see happy people using the public space.  Huge barbecues and picnics are everywhere.  I’ve seen soccer, ultimate, volleyball, baseball, and even a little bit of a cricket game in action.  Akido lessons, yoga, and various musical instruments often find their way to the parks.  Lots of variety.  Gotta love that variety!
