Getting Oriented

Not much new today. No new job leads, no contact about the previous leads.
I did go in for the orientation with the outplacement service that AOL is springing for.
There wer lots of familiar faces there, though only one person I actually knew.
The whole thing was basically a rundown of the services they offer, most of which I’ll take advantage of, I guess.
A lot of the stuff they offer can be accessed online, which is cool.
One guy got a laugh by asking if it costs AOL more money based on how many of their services we take advantage of, but apparently it’s all paid for already.
After I got out of the orientation I found that I had a voicemail from Kathleen letting me know that she’d stopped by to drop off something for me to give to Scott tomorrow and asking me to call her back.
I did so and got her voicemail. Later, when I was at home, I came upstairs to the office to find that she’d called me back.
She was calling to give me the number of someone she knows who needs to have a basic Web site built, which I could do.
I gave him a call but got his machine.
Apart from my mom calling – immediately after I’d hung up from calling the guy who needs the site – to find out how the orientation dealie went, pretty much nothing else happened.
