Hi J, wow I have missed you a ton......

I am getting that it is time to be humble. I am working very hard to do just that. It is not easy for me, but I am trying.

This weekend I rearranged my living room. Tawny redid her room, I am working on getting Ross' room done today. I figure a change of scenery around the house may be just what the doctor ordered. Give me that sense of change and get my mind in the right place.

I was contacted by a recruiter this weekend. I guess that due to the unemployment rate in the states many folks are looking abroad at work. He recruits in the UK and says that many companies there are looking at bringing in management from the States. Could be an interesting opportunity to explore I guess. We sent my resume to 2 different employers today. One outside of Edinburgh, and one in the Bracknell, Berkshire area. So who knows.

Anyway, soccer today and softball starts tonight if this storm passes without to much rain. I am looking forward to playing ball again, it's been a long off season.

Cool! Sounds like an interesting possible opportunity. How do you think you would feel about working abroad?

Hey, who you calling abroad?
We are in the right place, can't speak for those north of the border though!
Warmer in Berkshire Ian, and you won't have to show your knees.
I hope something turns up soon.
My son just got a job and he took v redundancy last Nov. thinking he'd have a few weeks to work on his house and then get a job.
The best laid plans as they say.

Ah Ian, bragging again.
I may need to verify this info should you get to this side of the pond.

Something will come up for you...you need not to look too far
away. Checked Fed X here...layoffs have been done.
That's great that you rearranged the furniture, maybe a little
change in wall colors? Stay occupied, that's when the unexpected
happen.

yeah 1210, the layoffs for FedEx were huge here in memphis. 500 salaried employees laid off...ouch......

On the job front, new job starting on the 20th of this month. It is not equivalent to what I had, but it is enough to provide and not be completely stressed. There is also a great deal of opportunity with this job and it could lead to more money down the road.

Sorry Naej, doesn't look like you will get to see that kilt after all.......
