"No really, you're in the system"
So Disaster didn't send me out last month, which is fine because I found the time to become gainfully employed (barring any unforseen and frankly impossible issues with the background check and the drug test). I'll be doing web development at a behavioral healthcare insurance provider in the area for more pay, a shorter commute, and on the same team as a good friend of mine. I start mid-August and I'm really looking forward to the challenge.
I have until next Monday at the Red Cross, which means I am able to do what I did today - speak face-to-face with a very cool woman in Disaster about deploying to Texas to deal with the aftermath of Hurricane Dolly. It turns out that a technicality prevented them from calling me last month - quite literally the wrong box was checked in the database, listing me as "Inactive" instead of "Active" - so that got sorted today. I should have a much better idea of what's going on tomorrow.
The very cool thing is that the new job said they can push the start date back a week or two to accomodate the Disaster relief if need be. That's one of the reasons I took the new job.
More news as I know it.
