Help me find a job

Ladies and Gents, given the slow rate of pay for my current work, the near certainty that it will not last til the summer, the tight local job market, my own lack of insurance, and that itch I have urging me to move along, I am again looking for work. I would greatly appreciate it if you can keep an ear/eye out for jobs that fit the following description and let me know if you find them. I am willing, but not eager to relocate. =)

that other job

In KY

Had a very entertaining thanksgiving. I can tell Aunt Judy now knows I’m gay because she didin’t ask about gf’s. Granny made a bean soup, and put no butter or margarine on the veggies just for me. Awww, thanks Granny. Somehow confounding and reverse baiting uncle James Allen has gotten easier. I only wish I knew my Russian better (like at all), so that I could talk with Ina’s father (they’re Ukranian. She, like my Uncle Dennis and dad, is a doc). Mom said she’s Dennis’s girlfriend. She made tiramisu. I felt kinda bad not being able to partake of the efforts of my fellow cooks and compliment them on it. Particularly her, ah well.

Updating from my uncle Dennis’s qwerty desktop because it seems intent on not sharing the PPPoE dsl connection over the ethernet card.

In Ohio

I’m here, arrived safely despite a late start (left the house an hour later than I’d planned), and an inattentive cabby (sideswiped a parked car, but I warned him in enough time that he managed to avoid doing more than damaging the paint job. He left a note).

Enjoying my parents wireless, and I found out that Shannon’s bf is no longer interested in Tom’s spot given that we’re stuck with a 6 month lease. (perfectly understandable to my mind).

Gotta leave now for KY. Seems my uncle is desparate for programmers and the company is doing quite well. <cross fingers>

Answering Doubts

Well, the paper has started. It’s a fair guess that it won’t be done in the next two hours, but that it will be done before I get back from thanksgiving. There may be more for me to do in Albuquerque than in Zanesville. Hey, I’ve gone from Albuquerque to Zanesville this November. Heh. Anyway…

Thanks to , , and for a variety of reality checks. I’m still applying to Cal (and other places) for the fall. I’m still going to talk with Uncle Dennis about his software company.

When I started writing the paper (for which I must thank Aaron for providing some inspiration to actually start), it turned out to be much less painful than prior experiences writing papers. Perhaps because I’ve done so much preparatory reading. Responding to also reminded me why I like this stuff. It’s actually kind of fun. I’ll post it here when done. Right after I send a copy to my prof. There may be a happy ending to this story after all.

Thanks to Jay for reminding me that the first part of “deadlines” is often not literal. And thanks to Tom for encouraging me to step back and evaluate, (even though I disagree with your conclusion. =)
