If I don't write something about Adam, I'm going to have rename our blog.  :-)  I hope that Adam will get the blogging-bug soon, but in the meantime, I'll give everyone a quick update....

It's not looking so good on the job front, unfortunately.  Merrill Lynch and JP Morgan don't have anything. We have probably sent his resume to 20+ people - everyone we can think of... former Janney employees, people that they know, college friends, acquiantences, Lise & Susie (thanks guys!) -- but nothing.  In many cases, the follow-up is difficult and you just have to hope that the resume got in the right hands.  Seeing as he hasn't heard from anyone, it doesn't look like that has often been the case.  The guy at Merrill was nice enough to put Adam in touch with two headhunters - unfortunately, the one already came back to him and told him that they wouldn't have anything until January - YUCK!  We already knew that lots of firms would wait until after bonuses get paid out before they hire anyone.  I think that's the biggest hurdle Adam's facing.  So that's that.

For those that we haven't told already - Adam and I are subletting the second BR/BTH in our apartment.  Our tenant is a guy named Neal.  He is a Dickinson graduate who interned at Janney in the Research department about 3 years ago.  He now works at Janney in the Investment Banking department -- working crazy hours.  The commute from Pottstown is about an hour, so he was just looking for a place to crash during the week.  Its nice because he will be there when I'm not, and the money we are getting from him is going to help defray the costs of my EVENTUAL sublet in NYC.
