Hodgepodge

Thought of the Day: When you have the one of the anchors on the morning local news announcing that a tropical depression has intensified into a hurricane and Gordon is moving out, and stating that the resident weather reporter says it poses no threat, it's truly a slow news day.

Still plugging away at mother's socks - I've started the siamese twin. I notice that the weather is starting to turn cool now and today I've had to actually put something on my feet. One of the things I don't like about change of season is the transition between summer and fall clothes. I've become so used to wearing a light amount of clothes and having nothing on my feet that it's quite jarring to feel heavy clothes on next to your skin. Eventually, though, I will adjust.

So . . . it's the beginning of sweater season now. My most immediate need is a warm cardigan, and I still haven't finished the Mendocino cardigan, so I better get to cranking it out. I need to finish off one o the front pieces, then move on to the back part. It's going to be quite a slog, but it's gotta be done.

I've come across a great tool for picking out colors in designing knitting patterns - Color Generator. This was created for web design, but I suppose it could also come in handy when it comes to creating your own pattern. Also, ColorToy may be worth checking out.

Not much movement on the Job Front. I'm getting frustrated. I think I'm going to have to call up temp agencies just so that I can get out there and be productive. By the way, if you're an employer and have people come in for an interview, please have the courtesy of contacting them afterwards to let them know if they will not be considered further. That way, they can immediately get on with other possible positions. At the end of the month, I'm going to the Women for Hire Expo . . . hopefully I can generate some job leads and get a review of my resume, even though the one-page format has been getting noticed by recruiters and HR. I just need that one-page resume to generate a job offer for me!

I'm slowly easing back to working on my KnitInventory app after a brief hiatus. I think I've got possible solutions to some issues that I'm facing, and need to see how these shake out.
