December 8, 2006 Yesterday morning I started my day off with a walk in my new neighborhood. About one block from the house I am staying at is the infamous Lake Norman. I walked along the lake until I came to a dead end. It is a very nice lake – the terrain is really hilly so it made for a good work out. I one point I thought I was almost sweating so I slowed things down a bit. There are some palatial places on the lake. But there are also a few small cabins, I even saw one trailer home. I bet everyone in the neighbor hood dislikes that guy. One modest ranch home for sale was listed at $ 585,000.00. I don’t think I will be picking up any lake property soon. After my walk I prettied myself up to hit the road. My first stop was at a Kinko’s to type of a letter for a company I was going to stop at. It’s called Octagon Racing and they have an opening for an Account Executive. So after typing the dreaded cover letter I stopped at the office and dropped of my resume. Their corporate office is on the east coast and they would forward my resume to the HR manager there. It seems like it would be a good opportunity. Then I was off to good old Panera Bread so I could go on line. Stayed there for about 3 hours surfing the internet looking for more jobs and stuff. Earlier in the day I had gotten a call from Sherry Berna (a fellow women on snow bunny) and she gave me a number of a guy that is originally from Wausau that now lives in Mooresville. After a few more shots of coffee at Panera Bread I finally worked up the nerve to call him. For those of you who don’t know I do have moments of being shy!!! I got his answering machine and left him a message so I headed home to have some dinner. I had just put on my pajamas and sat on the couch to watch Survivor when Dave returned my call. After a few minutes of chatting on a bad cell phone connection we decided to meet for a few drinks. He seems to be a really great guy – and just my luck, he works for Chip Gannassi Racing. Next week I am going go over to their shop for a tour – should be fun. So all in all I think my first full day in Charlotte was pretty good. J
