The Ghoulies Are Running a Half Marathon in January!!! (Page 13)

Oh boy what a change.  I wish you the best of luck with the impending job search.

Wow!  I am exhausted just reading all of that

That's great!  Glad you were able to get a full night's sleep.  I hope you are right and things continue to improve from here on out!

Is there anyone in the village, I am bored!

I forgot my cell this morning so I have nothing to play with at my desk.

GOOD to hear.   Hope you are soon up and RUNNING!

x2 (or 7,8)   our thoughts are with you

A friend of mine works where I interviewed. She told me earlier in the week that the clearinghouse that handles the processing of new hires is backed up about 60 people deep. So they are slow right now in sending out offer letters and such, so there is still hope. The team that I am hoping to get a job with is also the last group that will get notified, so it could be awhile.

Thanks Dee

Does anyone have a recommendation for insoles for my day-to-day shoes? I am having some plantar pain since I started wearing this new pair of keens, and I want to prevent it from becoming full-blown PF. I have a history with shin splints, over pronate when I run, but have always loved the convenience of slip-on shoes. Would superfeet be overkill for these shoes? Should I go use the Dr Scholl's thing at the store to see what it recommends?

Totally missed that! Sorry. I spent the night vegging on the couch. I wasn't feeling very good. I think another day of the same is in order.

That would be ideal, but I'd even settle for self-sustaining thousand-aire

Glad to hear the coughing is starting to subside! Looking forward to hearing about your test run tomorrow!

I have no knowledge of superfeet.

I did use the Dr. Scholl's thing at the store and bought the insoles they recommended, my PT said they weren't very supportive though and I ended up getting custom made orthotics.

I'm not sure how they'd work with slip-on shoes. Are you talking clogs, that have no back to them or a loafer type shoe?

Good to know, this broadens the search

There had been a lot of junk thrown at the Ghoulies lately, but that all happens away from here. THE VILLAGE is a safe haven. This is a great place to come to to deal with the issues on the outside.

If you need a kick in the pants, you can get it here.

If you need someone to tease you for something you said or did, you can get that here.

If you need a hand to hold, a shoulder to lean on, or an ear to listen, you can get all of that here, too.

I believe there is an ancient saying that goes something like ... it takes a village to raise a TRIATHLETE!

Well HERE IS THE VILLAGE!!!

WE ARE ALL STRONG!

WE ARE ALL ROCKSTARS!!

AND SOON WE WILL ALL HAVE AWESOME T-SHIRTS!!!!

GO GHOULIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've got 10 years in, and I'm currently a Lieutenant, Junior grade (O-2). I had 7 years enlisted time, and 3 as an officer so far. I'm starting my search locally, including a couple ways I may be able to affiliate with the Reserves but get an active duty job. If it looks like I'll be going "civilian" I will also be looking at jobs back home in Minnesota and in Phoenix where I have some family.

My background is pretty diverse (mix of technical, management, customer service, public speaking, and recruiting with a B.S. in Management) but my focus at first is going to be government service or contracting jobs and/or engineering firms. However, I'm willing to entertain any and all possibilities.

ETA: Bill - Yes I had an inkling that this would be coming, but the timeline they dropped on me yesterday took me by surprise. To make the story very short, I have to be off the active duty books by March 1st and because of the administrative mechanics with which I'll be getting out I will NOT be eligible for separation pay/severance.
