Hello and Welcome,
This blog is designed to watch the world around me. Well, more specifically, things happening in Atlanta that have an impact on me and you. So, for a little meet and greet session; the About Me part. My name is Lucy Grady Inman and I have just graduated, with a design emphasis, from the Creative Circus. I am a freelance designer looking for work in this ever-so-difficult market. It's only been a few weeks since my graduation, and I know it's going to take far longer than that to find work, but boy, has it been hard. I wish I could just snap my fingers and say job. And there sitting in the palm of hand is a name waiting to be contacted, just begging for a freelance designer. But life isn't like that, I know this, and it's good to experience these first-hand career difficulties. But my life isn't all that bad either. For extra cash, I'm doing a CPR course and I've just put some of my greeting cards in a store in Atlanta. So, hopefully things will be looking up. All around us that is. And until tomorrow, here's something to part with, about my career search, and maybe yours too.
"Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing."
- Theodore Roosevelt
So in my case, it's worth it to keep sending out 50 emails a day just hoping someone may bite.

You are doing a CPR course?! thats cool. What are you going to do? Be a lifeguard??
Yeah isn't it cold in Atlanta yet? Maybe for indoor swimming we don't really have that in Dallas. I was thinking of you the other day...and Jkwon her magnet is still on my refridge.......As you know I am teaching, luvs it...found my calling...I know you will find yours...took me a while though.....I think this summer I might teach English abroad...any suggestions? wanted to see if you and Jacklyn wanted to come visit me!!
jessie - no just some teaching classes on CPR not a big deal, just hang out watch kids take a test and get paid for it...
Michael Anne - cooler in Atlanta these days, but not cold yet -- not lifeguarding! haha. But I've gotten a few job interviews lined up for design, so CPR is just a back up thing for extra cash. I'm glad you like teaching! That's great, didn't know you had graduated yet, congrats! I would love to come visit you abroad, it's just right now... I'M BROKE! We'll see.
