The once-a-month blog

Ok, well hopefully not all the time. I'm in the midst of a job search, as I stated in another post below. Things are going pretty well, I've interviewed with a few quite different companies, from Al Gore's new TV Station to a financial company to a healthcare company. The news today was that my old co-worker Jeff, who works for a high-profile environmental organization here in SF, emailed me in hopes that it was still my email address, and said he had a question for me. Now I really respect Jeff, the last time we saw each other was at Critical Mass, the monthly bike-riding protest, and he was telling me about this great job that he had, and how much he loved being in the midst of city decision-makers. I was telling him how much I would love to get involved in that type of thing too. So today, when he emailed me back, his question was if I knew of any web developers that might need a job! Long story short, they are looking for a part time, 24 hour a week, person who would also do a little graphics work, and site development. After speaking to him, and sending my resume, he said that his IT person took a look at it and was floored. "Why would this person want to come work for US?" I guess that means I am over-qualified, but this might be my big-step out of corporate and into city government, which I have thought about for at least a few years.
