I got a Job!

Hello Classmates,

I just wanted to share with you the news that I got a job working as a rating analyst for Moody's Investors Service.  I will be performing credit analyses on state and local government debt instruments.  My wife and I are very excited!  Best wishes to all.

So I decided to take Brian's advice and get up five minutes earlier (see comment from last blog post). And look what I accomplished!

My very first blog post ever

Like Sarah and Billy, being unemployed has given me an opportunity to hone all kinds of fun skills. And after this post, I can add blogging to my list of new tricks.

My next big project is painting the outside of the house with my dad. I've never done it before, but how hard can it be? I agreed to do it on the condition that I get to wear white painters overalls. Now if I could only figure out a way to make sewing cushions and painting houses sound good on my resume...
