BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
How's your day going?

I think I'll be able to land the one I'm interviewing for on Monday. I probably won't know for a couple of weeks though.
I've been keeping an eye on the job market for a couple of months. It definitely isn't the same as last year. A lot of companies increased outsourcing to contract companies. That is really hurting the wages and benefits. But, I'm not too worried about it. I'll grab something and keep looking.

Buenos dias pinches cabrones!
Wife got wound up about the neighbors seeing everything we do while sitting out back. Up to Home Depot and 1 day later. Not bad for the old skinny guy I think. Married Italian and learned quite a bit.

Yeah, I found out today. It didn't go so well.
The minute I walked in one of the guys asked, "You worked at __" and then "so, you knew ___." It was one of a couple of people that didn't like me. We just never saw eye to eye on anything at anytime. He was a decent enough dude we just never mixed and I know what he would say about me. It was a very aggressive and at times confrontational interview. I was ready to bail before it ended.
Oh well, shit happens.
Got the wife and kid moved down to Mississippi from NY over the weekend. Its about an 18 hour drive. Did it over three days (when I came down myself originally with the trailer I did it in a day and a half). Spent Mon/Tues just relaxing (on PTO).
Back to work today. Both the paying job and the renovations on the new house.

If I may ask, why did you move from NY to Mississippi?
Anywhere near Oxford?
About four hours south of Oxford in the Hattiesburg area.
It was time for us to move and even in Western NY where we lived, upgrading at all just wasn't worth the cost increase.
South was always the goal (the wife LOVES the weather) and FL was the original destination. But nowadays living in FL is just as expensive as NY with insurance rates and inflated house pricing.
We poked around a bit and MS was interesting to us, lots of small town living, MUCH lower cost of living.
The area of Hattiesburg we're in has one of the better school districts in MS and a solid local college in USM (one of the higher ranked research colleges around)

Kind of the same situation here. We left Lake Tahoe two years ago, cuz we were tired of the snow, the riff raff, and the cost of living was incomprehensible.
We had our eye on Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, South Caroliina and North Carolina. Somehow we ended up in Georgia.
For some reason we never considered Louisiana or Mississippi. I can imagine MS is nice though.
I gotta get to Oxford for an Ol' Miss game one of these days.
Anyways, I hope y'all enjoy your new surroundings and home.
Still looking for jobs, but everything is third shift or contract work. It feels like 2008 around here. But, I still got about two months with the severance. So, I'm being picky for a couple of more weeks and only putting in a few applications at a time.
I was able to hit the gym and smoke a good cigar. So, it all equals out.
