No Party

Long in short of it, there won't be a Young-fest 2008. There are just too many things going on right around that time of the year. We are adjusting to Rebecca still, and have not been able to get everything up to speed where we want it. So for this year, we are canceling the party. We may still have a small family gathering that day, but nothing major. So that's it.

On the job side, there are so many things going on. I haven't made a decision. Let me bring you up to date.

Library of Congress - It seems like their contract situation is in order. But I am concerned that it really doesn't do anything for my career.

Andrews AFB - I had an interview on site on 8/7. I guess things went well enough. So well that they made me an offer on the spot. It turns out that it is with General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT). But it's not major money. And I'm not real keen about commuting down to Andrews AFB when I am in town. I told them I would let them know by Monday.

USDA - They were suppose to be working on an offer, but I haven't heard anything this week.

Census - They got back with me on a low offer. I rejected it out right and told them what I was expecting. I thought that was then end of it, but on Thursday, they called me back to try to convince me to accept a lower amount. They gave me their top amount. I don't think I'll take it.

Another company in the mix - I was contacted by a company that has a contract with Unisys working to secure our borders. This work is all in Arizona. At first I wasn't going to accept it, but they seem to be paying a lot. So I jumped through their hoops to see where it will go.

This whole process is really weird. I go back to the dating comparison. I have a fine steady job now, that pays pretty decent compared to other people in the world. This is list a stable marriage. But it seems like there are better companions out there for me, and I'm not sure if the one I have is so bad, or the others would be so good. This makes my head spin!

The only other thing that I have going on is that Heather asked me get on Facebook. I did. And amazing, its funny to find other people on there that you know. It pulls contacts from your e-mail contact list, and found a bunch of people that way. Also I found a couple of people at work on there.

Saturday, I am off to the Virgin Mobile Festival. I should have a bunch of pictures to share.
