How did the talk go?
The one with my manager-
He thanked me and appreciated my skill set. He said that he would write me a letter of recommendation if I need one. I know he wouldn't write such a letter if he didn't think I was good. He said anytime he asked someone about working with me, the response was always "great". Steve L refused to be a reference for Terrell when he laid him off, so based upon what my boss said I did a great job and shouldn't blame myself.
With wifey- She was cool when I told her at 6pm, then got real testy around 9pm, and then blew up at 2am with a kick punch knee combo in my side. She's cool now though and is determined to get me a job.
The search is going. There are quite a few jobs available that I can do, so that's a good thing. I am about to start using my cover letters as weapons though.
Two great points from JayZ:
“In hip-hop, the whole 'keep it real' has become more than a phrase. Scorsese and Denzel are not tied to the films they make, so people see the separation between art and life. Unfortunately, they don't see that separation between Shawn Carter and Jay-Z. As far as they're concerned, everything I talk about is happening for real. To them, at no point is it entertainment.”
“It's worse in business, because there is no fear of retribution. If somebody fucks me on a deal, then later I'll fuck them on a deal. But, other than that, nothing happens. On the streets, you have to have integrity or you won't be there long. You can't give your word and then do the opposite. In business, people just run all over each other; it's unpoliced.”
