Quick Job Update

FYI……

I had 2 jobs on the front that I was hoping would come through.  Both have since pretty much fallen through.  One, that I on-sited with, offered the position to another guy as they thought I was too much “Engineer” and not enough “Manufacturing”.  I took that as a positive as that’s what I am!  The potential silver lining is that if the first guy doesn’t accept, they would ask me to come in.  Nothing negative from the company, I interviewed great and all.  They just thought that I was more into the engineering side than the manufacturing side of the business.

The other one did a round table with the economy status and decided that they would freeze all position openings until mid year.  As I only have 2 months of severance, I can’t wait around for that.

So now I am back to the drawing board with the only options left with referrals are engineering corporations.  One would keep me local and in our home, the other would require a move and sitting on a mortgage until we sold the home.  Unless they somehow offered to help out in the relocation with buying the home!!  If that happened, we would be set.

Either way, I thought I would let everyone know that Lawton over at LawtonFunk and I will be forming a band.  It will be called “The Unemployments” and we will not shower or shave to get the hobo look down.
