My Dream Job Journal 8/15/08

 

 “My Dream Job Journal”

August 15. 2008

 

 

My wife and I returned to Washington, August 14th, from Los Angeles. We spent a delightful week on vacation in Southern California.

 

As I said in a previous journal, we make a point to visit my home city, in late summer, each year. We were able to relax and take long walks on the beach, visit Universal Studios, go on the Sony Pictures Tour, taste wonderful New Orleans cuisine at a local restaurant, and in general unwind. It also gave me the opportunity to see family and old friends and most importantly, spend some valuable time with my wife. I highly recommend taking time off, a vacation, if possible. The stresses, both mental and physical of working and/or looking for employment can be exhausting, especially for seniors.

 

As I discussed in the last journal, I have accepted a consulting position, on a project, with a national company dealing with aging issues. Sabrina, the Deputy Director, with the company indicated to me that a well known government agency, that deals with quality of life issues for older Americans, was partnering with her company on the project, and that the liaison with the agency would be meeting with us as soon as possible.

 

After two attempts, we finally had a successful conference call on August 6th to discuss the basic outline of the project and to define my responsibilities.

 

After an hour of talk, we agreed to meet, in person, in two weeks to detail the specifics of the project. Hopefully, I will know after the meeting precisely what I have to do. I am aware that the time is getting shorter and that the project will have to be developed based on the time limitations.

 

Stay tuned!
