Stiiiiiiilllllll goooooiiiiinnnnggg!
Highlights of the resounding silence:
We moved to Phoenix. Actually, we moved to Chandler, which is just south of Phoenix.
I've had trouble finding a job. Well, duh, things are tough all over. Highlights of the job hunt include four sure-fire immediate-need start-on-Monday-can-you-come-down-RIGHT-NOW-to-sign-up-with-us? jobs falling through at the last minute because the client company decided to fill it in-house, postpone the project, change the venue...what is *up* with this. There are any number of opportunities before the valuable time of everyone from the HR department, the staffing service, and 8.5 million unemployed Americans gets wasted, where the hiring manager could say "No, you can't have a temp." Why wait to cancel until the night before the temp is due to report to work? (Then there was the staffer who, on the strength of one failed interview, said, "I can't place you, don't call back." Gee, is that what you told the other four failed candidates for that position?)
I did get sent out by one place for a single shift at the local Netflix mail room. That was kind of cool, it was totally boring but I like boring, it started at 2am and they cut us loose before 8. I kind of have to be looking for that kind of work, or at least early-morning things that end by 2 or 3, because I'm starting night school here. No, we don't really have the money, but if we wait until we do, it will never get done.
