Come Backs

Whew, Das Behr has been all a twitter of late... The day trip to the coast was wonderful despite the fog. Since then, I've been more or less stuck here in the valley. Good news is I'm no longer living in my Cobalt. I've secured a new roommate situation and that is moving along slowly the way it ought to. My new EDD claim form has been submitted and I ought to be getting some much needed monies to pay some bills.

I've been checking out the availability of broadband connection options in the localmarketplace... and I got to say ARRGGHHH. What a disappointment overall. I like the aspects of Cable internet, but without a TV nor a TV card in a yet to be built computer box, it still equals no TV. DSL is also a bit pricey for what I want as far as bandwidth is concerned. Wide Area WiFi in San Jose is for the most part still a pipe dream. So that leaves only microwave- ala Sprint.

I recently, like today, read online about two comebacks that'll be happening here in the Bay Area... the Save Mart grocery chain has decided to bring back the LUCKY'S brand. many of the now closed Albertson's locations and the still functional Albertson's Stores are going to be affected by the re-branding. According to the Save Mart company will close all the stores for a two-day period and then re-open under the Lucky's brand. The story can be found here.

Yea! The San Jose Earthquakes are coming back to San Jose!

Lack of enthusiasm for MLS was one of many factors which forced the then Earthquake franchise to head out of town and onto Houston where the 'quakes underwent a name change to be more palatable with the Houston crowd. Anyways, look for the new version of the San Jose Earthquake soccer team sometime in 2008. W00T, W00T!!

As for my own comeback? well, that is still in the works. In the meantime, I'm still sending my cover letters and attached resumes to all the jobs- that I know I can do, as found on Craig's List. A friend advised me of a temp gig doing some project management and general office stuff on a temp basis til the middle of October for 11 bucks an hour. And there's a recruiter from Wired Talent that has an opening for a CSR at a local game software company, in Mountain View, for a long-term temp gig.

But for now as always of late... It's a wait and see kinda thing.
