The Front Porch

[Anistorm]

I'm really worried about this summer.   I've had no luck with the job hunt yet, and it's been really lonely around Albany lately now that school is out.

Yeah same here. I am having no luck whatsoever about getting a job this summer but I pretty much blame on the economy for it. But I kinda dont have to worry this summer...I'm playing softball in a league this summer so that gives me something to do. I'm just gonna take a break from the job hunt and concentrate bringing my guts back to sports.

Patrick...you're kinda feeling the same way I was feeling after my latest interview. You're getting desperate (that's what my dad said). Don't let that get to you or else it's gonna destroy all your luck you've been given...All you need is a lot of patience. That's one thing I learned. Also...find other ways to do this summer such as volunteering.

I hate my job, but i am VERY thankful that I have it, and get paid pretty well.  I'll be there 2 years in August.  I am coming up with a "letter" to email a local news station to see if there is anything an almost 18 year old with a high school diploma can do behind the scenes, just to get my foot in the door for later in life.  I think that these days in order to get a job, you have to know someone who knows someone..you know what I mean?

Sorry to hear that Patrick! Hope something comes along soon for you

IMO, snail-mailing a letter is better than emailing one. It looks more professional.

Great idea.. Thanks.  I never thought of that.

Well, does anyone here have any summer getaways?

Mine will be in late July. We'll be going up I-95 back to Richmond, VA for a day. Then we leave to go to NYC for two days (by getting there on the NJ Turnpike). After we leave NYC, we'll be in Richmond for another day. Then after we leave Richmond, we (my family) will be going to Chincoteague Island, VA for a couple of days.

Sorry Martin, looks like I'll be going through Norfolk on my way to Chincoteague.

I will be able to get IS and WxScan clips from Richmond on my tuner, IS clips from NYC on my camera (I don't wanna lose my laptop in a big place ), and whatever STAR is on Chincoteague, I will capture that one.

I am going down to the ATL in August, and possibly a few other undisclosed locations (let's leave them a surprise).
Have fun on your trip Zach!

Well, the original plan was to visit Kill Devil Hills, NC, then to Richmond, but it got changed. I was convincing my parents to stay 5 miles up the road so I could see the Corolla, NC XL.

[Anistorm]

I'm probably going to some locations this summer. My family and I are currently planning to go to Puerto Penasco in the beautiful state of Sonora, Mexico. I'm hoping its a family reunion.

* Anistorm gets a bat and ball because she cant wait to play softball.

School is over from today! So excited. But I plan to stay less on the computer this summer.

[Mike M]

No plans yet. I'll probably go to the NJ shore this summer like I always do, but I also want to go somewhere more exciting than the shore. Last year I went to Scranton and Spring Lake, NJ (near Belmar/Toms River), two new places I haven't been before.
