Man, is it ever exhausting to look for a new job. Call this person, send that resume, apply to that posting. Oh well, if I wanted it easy I would have stayed where I was! :-)
I can tell that I am in a country with primarily British population when I talk to Mr. Brown right after I finished my conversation with Mr. gray. Funny! Well, when you're looking for jobs (my LEAST favourite activity in the world) you look for anything to cheer you up.
The weather for the past week has been pretty bad. It actually reached 13 C. I know, the Canadian readers are already throwing tomatos (that's how they spell it here) at me. It was also extremely windy, the kind that turns the ships upside down.
I just found out that Monday is a holiday here. Oh well, more time to research our trip to Malaysia. I know, I know. I cannot stay in one place for too long. But why would I if I have the opportunity to travel. Traveling to Asia is so cheap from here. A round trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia is AUD$380 (~CAD$300). Who would not go for that kind of price? Damir says: "ME!" he he
OK, I have to go work out now. All this trip planning and job applying has delayed my 8 am workout to 4 pm. At least the wind has died down and the temperature is 21 C. BEAUTIFUL! Here's another reason to be mad at me, next week the temperatures are going up to 33 C. Woohoo!

For me that cost would be multiplied by 4. So I only drive now :-)
Sounds like the Malaysian holiday would do you good! Have fun!
Yup, job hunting -- especially when it involves cold calls -- can be tedious. So much detailed documentation and so many repeated strategic call backs. You will find, however, that all of a sudden your efforts will *gel* and people will remember you when you call (again!) or someone will say "Oh yes, Mr Green mentioned your name."
The effective contacts usually result from a call/suggestion that you place/make, so don't be discouraged when they don't call you back, Ivan. Just keep calling! And I'll bet you are dazzling them with your Canadian accent! :-)
