My 7th (or so) 100 days...

That's an a la mass media joke considering I've been here for almost two years...

So there were no pictures from Bay to Breakers this weekend...so I'm going to heist some from friends and call them my own.

Events of the weekend:

Saturday~
Went to the Livermore Scottish Games with my parents and Rachel. It was a lot of fun, despite the total lack of shade and the 100 degree opressive heat. Sadly, the Campbells (my clan) were not there, but there were plenty of other toolbags to get the general effect. Post-festival, we all went out to a great sushi place in Livermore called Sushi-Ya. Easily some of the best priced and best tasting sushi I've had anywhere. After getting back to the city, Rachel and I got dinner and recovered from the near total dehydration we both endured in the East Bay.

Sunday~
Bay to Breakers didn't happen for me as a direct result of feeling absolutely terrible from the heat on Saturday. In lieu of waking up at 730am to start drinking, Rachel and I took it easy in the morning and went on a hike out at Lands End, near Seacliff. It was a great day. Again, the city was hotter than usual and I got sunburned (again!), but the view was unusually clear too.

The 100 days joke...
I've decided that starting today, I'm upping the job search (from the level I'm at now) to find the opportunity I want and then be there in 100 days from now. Although I've enjoyed more of my time at this job then I haven't, the lack of opportunity to do...well, anything really...has finally come to a head and I think we can all agree that it's better to leave on my terms then do something stupid that would overshadow the work I've done here. Yes, I'm going to look to stay in recruiting or a close relative thereof, but work environment and an appropriate level of compensation for 2 years experience and west cost COLA (not a soda) actually allow me to set some manner of life-goal, are the deciding factors for where I go. Any connections anyone may have, or leads on companies, would be greatly appreciated.

This week/weekend...
Taking advantage of a much needed 3 day weekend. It's kevin's last weekend in town before moving to LA, so I'll be bro-ing up and hanging with him for a while. Monday, I am going to Santa Cruz with Rachel and attempting to surf down there without getting beat up by a local. Also, somewhere in the next 7 days, I'm going to see Star Trek again, but on IMAX this time.

Enjoy.
