Wow, it's almost September . . . 2007 is flying by.

I emailed one of my old professors for advice with finding a social work job. He said that he's not at all surprised with my experience here in Fort Collins, and that I should stay networked with people who do have social work positions and the agencies I'm interested in. That's what I'm doing, so I suppose it's just a matter of being persistent.

I emailed my cover letter and resume to this job to be an activist for www.cforse.org, in which I would advocate for the use of biodiesel. That was one area I really had an interest in during my undergrad years, so I was highly interested. They emailed me back, though, and said they want someone more experienced in "canvassing" (this is where you go door to door and try to build interest in the organization). Puhleeeze, it's such a catch 22. I know I'm qualified and that I could do a lot of good things for the organization if given the chance. Whatever.

I was talking to Liesl about UK Pro, where you go and do social work in the UK. I called the recruiter, and she said that most of the people who go over are MSWs. This means that they know more about intake, risk and psychosocial assessments, which is experience I don't have. Ah well, I'm keeping my options open . . .

Finally, there's something I need to get off my chest. If you like your church, then that's fine. However, that does not mean that I have to like your church. That does not mean that you need to try to convince me to come to your church. I'm at a good point with my own religion right now, and I'm moving in a direction where I will be able to do what I feel is right.

That is all.
