How is the job hunt going? - When will you move?

Nothing yet. The one that I really wanted (graphics at the local newspaper) was already filled. It'll probably be easier once I get there and can hit the streets with my resume in hand. I have a lot of contacts there too, and have started "shaking the tree", so to speak. Something will turn up. It does feel good to be out of a dead-end job that I hated, but will miss my friends though. We had our own little "tech support support group" that got together occasionally to watch movies (Office Space is a particular favorite) and commiserate about the job.

I load the moving truck on either Thurs or Fri, and take off on Saturday. My dad is flying up to drive back with me - the boys on a road trip! I'm looking forward to it.

I think that movie is a favorite of a lot of people who work at large companies, particularly if they're in a high-tech field. A friend I worked with on my last contract and I would quote snippets of dialogue from that movie back and forth to each other in lieu of actual conversation...

I am glad you are looking forward to your drive... It will be an adventure! I flew over to drive cross-country with my brother once when he got out of boot camp... That was a very fun adventure!
