Job Search - Eureka!

I have been reading an excellent book on creativity by Doug Hall founder of Eureka! At the same time I am beginning to sense that it may be time to switch jobs, switch professions, or try something totally new. To this end I have decided to apply his techniques to a possible job search/switch. I'm taking my time and am looking to do something next summer. One of the techniques he mentions is "hitchhiking" which is basically piggy backing on someone else's ideas. So that I got me thinking that the blogosphere would be a great format for this type of thing seeking ideas of what to do next in life. So here goes, if you would like to contribute to a pool of ideas of what to do next feel free to do so. Over the next few months I'll be bouncing ideas off this page for consideration and experimentation. I will also be putting up some background info to stir further comments. Happy creating.

It seems that the bro in law is writing a book, it seems to be a fiction/fantasy book of some type. he has sent 3 chapters so far via e-mail, thus keeping the kids and myself in supense. He seems to writing pretty quickly ( a chapter per day) we'll see if he can keep it up. Way to go D, looking forward to the full manuscript.

Absent Minded Dad

Well it has been brought to my attention that I have not been writing much on this blog! Which is true my focus has been on Drop 20, which is no excuse but hey. The kids started school this week, so summer is officially over! I did manage to get in two games of golf though which is impressive considering that my annual golf intake normally consists of 1 game per year. I am actually considering completing my degree online so I am currently looking into different options. Check out my daughters blog she has some post about me being abducted by aliens maybe that's where my summer went. Sunflower
