That means it's better for you. Stick it out, when you get over the pain hump you'll enjoy it.

It's been a rough week.

When I went to file my UC Claim, I got a message that essentially said ... you're out of money.

I have too much stuff to be successfully homeless.

Luckily, one phone call later, I was guided through the process of filing for an extension.

I can breathe again.

Or will, once I see money hit the account.

But that's not really what I'm posting about today.

I got an email from a guy at a big, different nuthouse.

There looking at enhancing some of their staff care services with something that I do and he had some questions about how it all worked, and whether it might be useful. So we had a nice little chat about that.

As our conversation was winding down, I said something on the order of ...

"There's no really good way to segue into this question, so I'm just going to blurt it out ... do you have any open positions in your department?"

"Well, yes. There's two, one of them should be posting soon on the website. Everything goes through this big screening process and the only way to apply is online."

Ooh.

Nothing was posted under that job category when I went looking.

Don't know why, but I checked yesterday evening ... and there it was. Hopefully it's for the place I think it's for, since the nuthouse is part of a larger system and I'm not really into moving just at the moment. Application took me both last night and this morning to fill out .... it's really detailed and the interface was not terribly user friendly. Perhaps the ability to negotiate it is part of the screening process?

So, for good or ill, I clicked "submit" about an hour ago.

I hope I spelled everything right.

Yeah, your heart just jumps-sinks when you see that message. I had the second go-around with that this past Sunday, even though I'd counted the weeks this time and knew when it was coming. Hope you move effortlessly into this job, so you don't have to see that on your screen again!

So I bought this sign on line for a friend of mine that owns a backwoods cabin. For some reason it made me think of you Wolf.

I also thought of keeping it myself.
