Oh, good grief! An entire week... maybe I should just give up and post weekly. It's been a long month since last Saturday.

The big news was the bad news from Google: they don't want me. All my

sorry to hear about Google falling through. It sounds like a plan though to get moved and then put your full attention on work. It was a pleasure to see you on Wednesday.

[mdlbear]

Yes. Good luck to both of us!

Google is good at crushing people's hopes. Sorry to hear that.

BTW - no need to reply - but have you applied at Canonical (if they have jobs?) Folks work remotely there.

I'm really sorry to hear about Google! Sending you good vibes on a successful move so you can next devote your energy to that next step. *hugs*

Thanks!

Can you still sign up for COBRA? That would be expensive but not ferociously so.

[mdlbear]

I'm on COBRA now -- my severance pays for it until September, then I take over payments. Except that I'm moving out of Kaiser's service area, and I'm not sure what happens at that point.

My recommendation is that you keep working on looking for work, fight the temptation to awfullize and don't let it drag you down.

I understand the rollercoaster of job hunting but you need to keep believing in yourself and moving forward with the things you need to do!!

I'm not saying it's a snap and life's a breeze but don't let it plummet your hopes.

Thanks. I'll be trying. Right now the move is taking up 100% of my attention, which is a Good Thing both in terms of my attitude, and because if it doesn't we're not going to have everything packed.
