Chutzpah?

Tomorrow is a Seattle day! We haven't been there yet since we moved to Washington, and I'm really excited. I love Seattle, and it will be nice to go over there again. I've printed twenty resumes, and I'm going to do my best to get all of them into the hands of people who can actually do something with them. We'll see what happens.
What I'd really love is to live either in Downtown Seattle or close to the ferry dock on Bainbridge Island. That way I could leave my car at home and either walk or bike to work every day. The weather's not always perfect for that, but I think it would be more than worth the chance to stop driving. For either of those situations to work out, though, I'll have to work in just the right place. Fortunately, my first choice of location (Downtown) also has the highest concentration of employers, so I'm going to chase down anything I can.
We've found an apartment on Bainbridge Island that is right across the street from the ferry terminal, and we both really like it, so tomorrow's job search will be within a mile or two in any direction (but mostly east and north) from the ferry dock in Seattle. I'm going to go to the tallest office buildings (Washington Mutual Tower, Two Union Square, and Columbia Center) and visit every floor. And I'm also going to visit the hiring managers for a few Craigslist posts. I just figure that the temerity to show up uninvited and initiate an interview myself may just end up working in my favor. That whole go-getter attitude or whatever. In any case, a day spent in Seattle is always cool, and we're going to make it a lot of fun. I'll be sure to let you know what comes of it, and when I have a job and we have place to live and I'm getting exercise and enjoying my commute every morning reading a book while someone else does the driving, I'll let you say you always knew it was going to work out. Stay tuned.
