It's not a matter of fixing those issues. It's a matter of those programs being coded like carp... Java doesn't speak to me. I hate the fact that there are not GOOD IDE's that are not written in Java...

Interview set for tomorrow afternoon. . .

Am I an spoon if I turn this down? I mean I applied for it, but Orc hasn't even had a chance to apply for much (he has two aps in, is working on a 3rd that closes in June, and trying to find other stuff). The two aps that are in are in the same town as the job I'm interviewing for.

As fast as these guys are moving, they're probably going to be quick, heck last time I worked for them my interview was a formality of me signing employment papers.

Well, tell them your situation, and ask for a relocation bonus or other means of helping the situation (telecommute x days a week, etc)...

You're the one that said Orc could get a job anywhere. But how many are there available where you currently live? And can you get a job anywhere?

My current job can go with me anywhere for the next 2 years. Funding is already secured.

They are looking into whether or not they can provide insurance, which right now is the big ordeal, that and we can't live here on my income alone. Other job would have us living with Mom and Dad.

just got an email from mom. Apparently dad was in a car accident yesterday, rolled his truck in the interstate median. Lucky to be alive, AND HE REFUSED TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL after being pulled out of the wreck! Just wnt to see the chiropracter later that day after he was sure the truck got towed and his work equipment could be loaded into another car to be taken back home.

GAH! What's the point in paying $$$$$$ for his company to have health care coverage if he's not even going to use it!




Holy crap.
accident = bad
not hitting anyone = good
not getting hurt! = excellent

KtC, I have no advice.
Hope it all works out.
Being close to family has advantages.
You don't have to see them if you don't want to.

It's not the bread that's different, really. Crostini are thin slices of bread, toasted, drizzled with olive oil and toppings. Bruchetta, thin slices of bread rubbed with garlic cloves, drizzled, and then toasted or roasted.

it's a matter of order of prep more than anything.

Closer to Mom & Dad and Sister & BIL would be nice. After visiting again, I'm still not sure how well we'd like living down there. Maybe it was just a bad week really hazy and Ver3 was congested a lot.

Money on the job would not be enough to get a house right away, so that is more time living with Mom & Dad. . .

Sure, mostly to hold up to the increased moisture. 'Thin' is relative...an italian friend practically shaves bread for crostini, but most don't go that far. *shrugs* I've always considered the preparation method to be more defining.

Looks good. I would suggest that you might consider downsizing some of the elements on the right so the imporatant stuff can be seen without having to scroll the window though. I know you need the ad at the top. I can scroll the screen to get most of the important stuff in my window but it's close. I don't keep my browser window maximized. I might be the exception there, not sure. PS: I don't consider the write-up to be part of that important stuff. Nice (sorry writers) but not crucial.
