Aeorspace Offer

Well, we finally got our Aerospace offer in. It's not bad, but we will not be able to buy a house. We can rent a decent place, but it will be small. I've checked out some rentals. Not what I hopes and a great downsizing from our current ample space. I am a bit dissapointed, I had hoped for a touch more money, just because of the insane housing costs. If we were to get the same offer in Albuquerque or Denver, we'd be doing back flips.

One part of me just wants E to take it so the uncertainty will go away. I want to know where we will be living and that we have some real job security

Holy Crap!

Looks like we will be going to New Hampshire next week.  I am about to have heart failure.  Suddenly, we have an option to go to somewhere else. But we haven't hear from Cali if they want us.  I pray they do and am freaking out over the pay.  If they don't offer us enough we will not have a house or backyard for Tyoma. A cement postage stamp will be all we get. Sigh!

BAE

E has a Phone interview with BAE in Nashua NH this morning at 9:00 am. 

Heart Failure.

Deep Breath.

He asks, do I want to look up housing in New Hampshire?

Uhm. Sure!

Pumpkin Patch

Mom and I decided to celebrate Halloween by taking Tyoma to the local pumpkin patch and corn maze.  So much crazy stuff has been going on that I have not been enjoying life or my son as I should.  We had a lovely time and I learned a fair amount about my son!

My little boy is

Today Mom and I went to the local Halloween attraction, a maze and pumpkin patch. I took a few shots of Tyoma and then Mom snapped a picture of the two of us:

Small World

The head hunter who contacted us re a position on the East Coast over the summer sent us an email requesting E's resume. I was a bit annoyed, since I had told her we were not interested on relocating out east. But, we need to keep our options open.

It will take California two more weeks to get back to us about the interview. E's been vetted and it looks very promising, but no one is telling us to pack our shit. We need to check this out quickly.
Hi Egor,

I got the resume, and forwarded it to XXX last night. I spoke with XXX this morning and told him you were a hot ticket for his positions, but that we had to turn the entire process around within 3 weeks.

Ironically, XXX grew up in El Segundo, and his father worked for Aerospace Corp. for years.

He had not read your resume when we spoke, but said that from what I told him of your background it sounded good. He is going to read it and get back to me sometime this afternoon. There is a chance that I will be setting up a telephone conversation for you this weekend with either XXX , or YYY who reports to XXX.

I will call you right after I hear from XXX.

Best regards,

Nukestock Begins...


nukestock2007

Erhm, yes this photo is from Friday night, but the skeleton sweethearts in their seashell looked so precious, I just had to show them off!


I dashed off to the premier night of Nukestock seconds after I put baby down. The first night, traditionally the beer and wine tasting night, promised to be filled with delectable goodies, so I was very anxious to start sampling. Ewbliette and Brotherkurt’s table was every bit as impressive as I hoped.

A colossal assortment of exotic beer was the centerpiece, flanked by tons and tons of CHEESE! I came for the cheese! Gouda, Stilton, flavored havartis, jarlesburg, aged cheddars, nameless varieties marbled with greens and blues, cheese with nuts, cheese with fruit, and cheese with herbs! Ahh sweet paradise! AND hard sausages! I counted two varieties, but suspect I overlooked a third since one of their sausages was so delicious that I had eyes only for it!

The pair of them must have put this party together just for me! Due to my diet, I passed on the crackers and bread, which ranged from delicate and sophisticated to simple and earthy. I forgot my diet when Ewbliette brought out the gourmet chocolate squares and muffins. It was very difficult not to make a hog of myself!

Despite my gourmandizing, I managed to survive on a glass of wine and no beer. My evening was once again a short one, primarily so I could enjoy a longer time out tomorrow. Getting up early with Tyoma doesn’t lend itself to late evenings.

Anyway, I did actually spend some time not stuffing my face. I chatted with Raz, who demurely sipped on samples of various beers two tablespoons at a time. She was one of about four people who seemed to take the beer tasting aspect of the party seriously. Tkil and deliriumdreams were also in attendance, so I had a chance to gab with them as well. The house was just beginning to fill up as I left. Alas!
