Not that I&#8217;ve got a new job or anything that crazy (!), but it seems like there&#8217;s more opportunity out there, even if in small doses.  I don&#8217;t want to get into too much detail because I think that starts crossing into the &#8220;blogging about work&#8221; thing that I&#8217;ve always tried to avoid, but, suffice to say, I had two meetings this week, which is two more meetings than I&#8217;ve had in the several months prior to this week.  And it seems like there are more job listings that fall into my &#8220;wheelhouse&#8221; and that I feel comfortable applying for, as opposed to the months of listings for litigators and bankruptcy attorneys (both perfectly good professions, just not what I do).  So I&#8217;m just generally feeling more positive, even if it&#8217;s still slow-going overall.<\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t been riding my bike as much as I&#8217;d like to, mostly due to the weather.  We seem to be living in a period of alternating thunderstorms and heat advisories, neither of which are weather conditions that are particularly conducive to a leisurely bike ride around the city.  but I am signed up for a bunch of organized rides in the next few months, so that should help get me back into the swing of things.  I did spend last saturday volunteering for transportation alternatives at this year&#8217;s summer streets event, and got lots of people to sign up.  That was a fun way to spend the day.  <\/p>\n<p>And in even more other news, yesterday was my baby brother&#8217;s 30th birthday.  conveniently, I didn&#8217;t have to do much of anything except post on his facebook wall since he&#8217;s diving somewhere in Indonesia at the moment (yeah, his life sucks), but it&#8217;s making me feel a bit old.  and nostalgic.  how the hell did I get old enough to have a much younger sibling turn 30?  But happy birthday, Jeff, wherever the hell you are!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>no actual photo class this week, due to a final show occurring for a prior class.
