OK. I'll stop complaining... I got a job. I'm leaving Colorado and moving back to Michigan to work at my old job.

The job market seems to continue getting worse as more accounting "scandals" come to light. The analysts that predicted that employment, particularly in high tech, wouldn't resurge in the USA until the summer of 2003 may actually have been _optimists_.

I didn't get the job in Michigan, but there's another opening coming up at the same place, and I might be in the running for that job.

No job yet.

"Dances with Sheep"

I've been re-reading Haruki Murakami novels, thinking I'll go live in the Rocky Mountains, a cross between the hermit Ryokan and the SheepMan.

I'm going to read Plato's Symposium and then I'll make believe that I'm having a conference of stuffed toys in my cramped little bedroom.

12.5 months unemployed.

I'm a monkey in a box, monkey in a cardboard box.

Cool. I have an job interview on Tuesday. Cross your fingers!

I wish I could go to the Ottawa Linux Symposium... *sigh*

OK. A handful of potential jobs have come and gone. No real interviews, just screening interviews by recruiters. I have been unemployed for a whole year now.
Heh.

Tomorrow I have an initial, preliminary phone interview for a job. Yeah!

I am still looking for a job. It has been over ten months now. I am a UNIX/Linux, object-oriented Perl 5, SQL (Oracle or MySQL), CGI kinda person with many other interests. -- ebizo

A very bad week. No calls or emails about job opportunities. No positive responses to my enquiries. Several emails with bad news.

My wonderful life it ain't.
