Opportunities Abound

I had a pretty good interview this morning at NetApp. Felt pretty solid about things, and I think I made an impression. I think they’re growing quickly and will make a move on the position very quickly, too.

In addition, I landed some part-time network nanny work at a Chapel Hill business. Don’t know how many hours it will cover, but it will be enough to get me by. I also was given a lead for a consulting job in Smithfield. I think it could provide some regular work. I travel there in the morning to meet with the client.

To top it all off, I spoke with a gentleman about a month-long contract doing some Asterisk testing. Woowoo! How can I turn down working with Asterisk? I speak with a techie tomorrow and if it goes well, that could kick off soon.

There are so many directions I could go in now that it’s exciting (and dizzying) to think where it could all lead. One of the questions I was asked this morning was “where do you see yourself in five years?”

Man, who knows?

Diplomats and Military Commanders Unite Against Bush

A group of former diplomats and retired military have banded together to call for regime change in America. The group, called Diplomats and Military Commanders for Change, includes top-ranking generals, admirals, CIA officials, and diplomats, both Republicans and Democrats. The group will release an official statement Wednesday morning.

Bill Harroup, former U.S. ambassador to Israel, summed it up here:

“I really am essentially a Republican. I voted for George Bush’s father, and I voted for George Bush,” Harrop said. “But what we got was not the George Bush we voted for.”

The group includes former ambassadors Jeffrey Davidow, William DePree, Charles Freeman Jr., William Harrop, Arthur Hartman, H. Allen Holmes, Samuel Lewis, Princeton Lyman, Jack Matlock Jr., Donald McHenry, Richard Murphy, David Newsom, Phyllis Oakley, John Reinhardt, Ronald Spiers, Nicholas Veliotes and Alexander Watson; and Adm. William Crowe, Gen. Joseph Hoar and Adm. Stansfield Turner.

Hmm. Perhaps they’re on to something.
