Does that change your ideas of moving elsewhere?

You could do it, I bet! No problem - you're in a field that is in demand everywhere, and you're darn good at your job. The world is your oyster. ;-)

Hi!

LOL!

I got the daily bberry report this morning like I always do... and it struck me:

There's a few users here that get well over two thousand messages a day on their crackberries. This is ~after~ spam filters have already taken out the bulk of spam.

Fer tha luva... How does somebody even ~function~ with that sort of volume of frap? I don't get it. You'd think that the volume alone would make it impossible to use.

I'm more amazed than anything else. That's about one message every thirty or forty seconds. At that rate it would be all but impossible to even ~notice~ each one let alone read or reply to them. Any message you reply to means that you let four or five slip by. Given that they inevitably flow in lulls and floods, there must be times when they're coming in faster than you could even scroll down through them.

It's pure chaos. If only there were some way to capture this energy...

My original plans being scratched, it's become more difficult to think of a way to move elsewhere.

I'd love to do it, but I just can't wrap my mind around how I'd be able to go somewhere, find a job, get child care/school set up, etc - without having some sort of support system for the initial weeks.

I don't have enough to allow me to grab an apartment and who would watch the girls while I interview??

~sigh~

Where God shuts a door, He opens a window. Let's see what happens.

Good morning Ramius!

If only there were some way to capture this energy...

Oil would no longer be a problem, that's for sure! :-D

Or in my case, drops you thru the attic ceiling...

All I'm sayin' is that in ~my~ case, I've gone from asking "Why?" to asking "What next?"

;-)

A philosophy I should embrace, it appears....

I'm not sure I'd wanna know the answer to that, in your case. Sometimes it's better not to know...

I dunno...I think the idea of a RockyMoot kinda got put on hold, what with certain people's plans being up in the air right now...

Heh..

Well, decisions must be made soon. We must not be made to wait, right?

Certain plans need to take HHers into consideration after all.

*grinning*
