December 11, 2006 Oh what a day. Since I got to Charlotte my days have been quite challenging. Sometimes I really don’t know what to do with myself. It has taken a lot of work to keep my days busy so I really have to take it just one day at a time. With no job interviews on the horizon I have had to resort to call anyone I know in Charlotte - which is not many people. I did contact a guy who works for Lowes Motor Speedway. I met him when I was working here this fall. He has quite busy schedule this week but said he would meet with me next week. Then I call a lady I meet this weekend who was going to give me a contact at LMS for the woman in charge of concessions. But Kim was not at work today so I will have to call her back tomorrow. My last call was to Gail Lemmond who works for Levy Restaurants (major catering company for NASCAR tracks). This is a company I am very interested in. She does not do the hiring but I thought she could give me some info about the company. She is on vacation until after New Years so I should call her after that. With no more calls to make I did some random emailing of my resume to different Race Teams. I don’t think the emails are the most effective thing to do but when I have nothing else to do. With my job hunting done for the day I decided I needed a hair cut. After cruising around I finally found what looked like a nice salon. After chatting with the stylist and telling her of my mission to find work in NASCAR she had some tips for me. Since it seems meeting people is my best way to go about job hunting I have to find the right places to go – to meet the right people. She was very helpful in pointing out local establishments that other NASCAR workers frequent. She even offers to meet me out on with her boyfriend since I really don’t have anyone to go out with. I am very fortunate that people have been so willing to help me. Kind of a crazy way to find work but what’s a girl to do??? In case anyone wants to know the weather here is just beautiful. It was sunny and 65 degrees today. Hardly seems like December. Jane
