Excellent: Notre Dame beat Michigan. The boys are young and still making mistakes, but at least it's 2-0 rather than 0-2. And some networking during & after the gamewatch, which was also good.
Good: The interview I went out of town for this week went okay-- it would be a long shot to get it and I would have serious "What the bloody hell have I gotten myself into now?" self-questioning if I did get it (I'd be back to being the only full-time IP attorney in the core organization, although there would be some part-timers/auxilaries to call upon, and lots of IP attorneys at other levels in more-or-less allied parts of the organization), but it was awful nice to make the shortlist that they wanted to interview at least. And 1) they are looking to expand to have more than one IP attorney, so even if I don't make it this time, there would be next time to apply 2) I would never, never run out of work if I did get the job.
Also Good: at least some of the law firms I've sent my resume to are interested and want my transcripts. And I have another phone interview on Monday morning as well.
I have 100 resumes out so far; the time to start doing some follow-up is next week.
Consulting appointment: so far, not much work, but I did give the fellow I talked to some good (& free, but only 1/2 hour) advice and he's got various contacts who he can send my name (and minastir's) out to.
