Help Wanted???
Okay, so I normally stay away from any work related posts as I believe that blogging about your job is a recipe for disaster. However, I think it is fair to post that I'm looking for a new job. I am horrible at job networking so I decided the next best thing is to just announce to the world that I'm looking on my blog.
For those of you who don't know I currently manage the University's alternative transportation program. Prior to that I was the University's Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordinator. I've also worked as the Outreach/Promotions Coordinator at REI. I've been an organizer at a labor union and the crisis line manager for a domestic abuse program. I also have extensive event promotion experience.
I've seen lots of great jobs that I would be well qualified for in places like Colorado, Idaho, California and Washington. For awhile I was leaning towards moving away but I have to admit that I would prefer to stay in Madison. I have lots of friends here and I enjoy my involvement in the bike and ski scene. I do actually like the idea of going somewhere new and totally recreating myself and my life but in the end I just love the Madison lifestyle. Besides if I left where would I find someone to take over MadCross.org????
If you know of any job openings at cool places let me know. I would hate to leave government work as I've finally worked my way up to 4 weeks of vacation but if the job was cool enough I'd be willing to get by on less (that would suck though but I could do it).
Now those of you who know me well are probably wondering if I'm really serious this time about getting a new job. The answer is YES! This time I am actually going to find some time to do this. I know that I usually get distracted by racing, training, blogging, website updates, photo editing and video making. However, the time has finally come to depart my current workplace and do something else with my life. I know that I've had lots of crazy schemes such as go back to school, start a shoe store, win the lottery (okay, so what if I don't even buy tickets), and probably a zillion other ideas. However, before I get wrapped up in the bike season again I need to devote some time to the job hunt and get this issue taken care of so it isn't always hanging over my head.
Feel free to post suggestions on what you think I should do next for a job.

Have you thought about the Chicagoland Bicycle Federation? I know it's not Madison, but it would be a super-cool job, and you wouldn't be *that* far away ...
The upside to that idea is that I would have easy access all the time to the vegan milkshakes at The Chicago Diner. The downside is that I would have to stop making Illinois jokes and start making Wisconsin jokes. After all these years that would be hard!
