Odds and Ends
Yesterday was my annual physical. Since leaving Synacor I've lost enough weight to be considered within a healthy range. Other things that checked out were heart, blood pressure, blood work, reflexes, and the finger exam.
Whoever comes up with a practical alternative to the finger exam could become wealthy.
On the job front:
Progress, but no interview with a firm yet.
Definitely a health bonus to leaving Synacor
Whoever comes up with a practical alternative to the finger exam could become wealthy.
On the job front:
- one call with a regional professional recruiter who was nervous. It was a bit of a roll reversal and uncomfortable.
- one call with the NY professional recruiter who was more social than business - it seemed to be managing my expectations down
- one application to Yahoo for an SRE based in Lockport. This may get stuck in the hopper
- one LA professional recruiter who flaked on a call time. I've rescheduled for today
- followup call with CIO for First Niagara. Went to voicemail - I doubt he will return my call
- followup call with CIO for Independent Health - She is going on a trip and probably won't get back to me until the end of the week
- voicemail to an inside contact as First Niagara. It is the 2nd voicemail. I don't want her to think that I'm stalking her so I'll probably back off.
- Finally, the tailor called to say that the interview suit wouldn't be ready. That is O.K. because I was getting the suit ready for the local professional recruiter, who doesn't seem to want to meet face to face yet
Progress, but no interview with a firm yet.
Definitely a health bonus to leaving Synacor
