A week in San Diego

Just got back from a week in San Diego. Started as a week to accompany the husband and search the local area for where we might want to live etc...

Ended with having 8 interviews, eating out for San Diego restaurant week, and NO geocaching! So relaxing at home instead for the weekend!

Used Open Table to book the places to eat - so get some points, and then can rate online afterwards too. Managin my life online - does it make it easier or more onerous...will have to think on that one. Ate at BlueFire Grill - the short ribs were yummy! And also At at Twenty/20 Grill where the Spicy Tempura Rock Shrimp dish was a surprise how well balanced and flavorful it was. Yummy again!

Also started to use the Delicious website for bookmarking my fave sites. Have been doing it on my computer, but after replacing a computer and now starting to work from different computers - see I need a central source for links. I liek the multiple tagging feature allowing searching...

Helpful Tips for Interviews

I went on a full day interview this week (so fingers crossed!) and thought these 2 links were really helpful to prepare

1. Interview Questions including example Behavioural Questions ( a more common technique used in interviews now)

2. Questions to ask in an interview (because thinking ahead is easier for me than on the spot!)

Good Luck anyone interviewing in this market - share some success stories to keep us all smiling!

Spooks are not always spooky

I do like to watch a bit of TV and since getting the Blockbuster movie service, like to watch tv series...much better to watch than drag on week after week on the networks.

I blogged about Law & Order: SVU a while back (read here)....now I'm watching MI-5. It's a series by the BBC and in the UK it is called "Spooks".

only on series 2, so don't give any spoilers away...when searching for a photo, did see that the cast in later series looks different, so I might have spoiled myself!

Twitter or not to Twitter?

Got into Twitter and still waiting to see if this will be just a fun tool or a must-have for information...

Since finding the Twitter Search site - much easier for me to find and follow other Twitterers with similar interests / locations / etc... instead of following lots of random stuff....although do just enjoy watching what the random world is thinking...

here are some of my latest Tweets...

A New Year...A New Beginning

I resisted writing this entry until after the first week in January had passed....I always write that big long list of Resolutions and have to wait to see what will stick!

Gym: I will go to the gym more, but not until Feb 1st. My resolution is to actually NOT go at all in January - those crowds just kill me!

Community: I've reached a phase in life where it is time ot give back more, so am adding to my resolutions this year.

Embrace the Unknown: There is alot of change coming in my life with moving to a new area with all the changes in living and working. It can feel very overwhelming sometimes, but would rather embrace it then run away from it. So Bring It On!

And I think I'm starting another "30 Day Adventure"..."30 Days to Moving!"
