I start taking Rudy Rucker’s, class today. It is at a lousy time, 4PM ( Read more... )

I’ve had my head on more or less straight this week. I’m disappointed that I have not had the discipline to write this week. I have been involved in an e-mail list talking about [un]intelligent design. It is mostly a waste of time but I get hooked by the conservatives on this list. They say these stupid things that I want to shoot down, but it ( Read more... )

Today was much more together. I went to work and they still did not have the tools, the IT guy does not think I am a priority, or so I suspect. I had lunch with some guys I know that might get me a job, and I got a call from a headhunter for a job that might be very interesting ( Read more... )

So here I am with work again. Work that will diversify me. In fact, this contract may make it easier to get more contracts in the future. What will happen with the marriage? I don’t know. I suspect that she is ready to just give up. Also I doubt the wisdom of holding on to this property given the great chance of a down turn. But if we were ( Read more... )

That’s it they said no. There are few options left.

I call the HR woman, she claimed that she had not heard anything, but I had at least hoped for warm fuzzies, but no they were not there.

The interview is today. Most probably, if I don’t get this job we have to sell the house and my wife says she’s done. Honestly, for the last two weeks it has felt to me like she is done already. I don’t know, but needless to say I feel a little pressure. So like Tiger on the 12th at the British Open, I have coolly take care of business, show ( Read more... )

Maybe I got the lead today that will get me a job. It was on hotjobs at a company I had consulted at before ( Read more... )
