Well, Tami (she says, trying to be philosophical), this means you'll be in better shape when the BETTER job comes along -- soon.

Big cosmic hug (and another one in person, soon).

There IS a year round, good paying gig out there for you. It will happen!

As for me, I'm still waiting. Had a good interview for a different job last Tuesday -- wouldn't mind either of the jobs I've interviewed for in the past two weeks. Waiting -- and sending out more resumes. Tom's still waiting after having his second interview for the permanent position at the test factory. He's more qualified than anyone else who has applied for it. And we're both waiting (trying to be optimistic) about Jazz coming home. At least people are reading the "Lost Cat" posters -- got a phone message about a possible sighting. She's so friendly -- I think someonehas probably taken her in and won't know who her people are until they see a poster.

Waiting. I go from wild optimism to bleak depression -- and back again. Right now I want to curl up in the fetal position and suck my thumb. (Or take a nap; I'm exhausted.)

But I'll probably call a friend who worked for my current employer and fill her in on the latest.

All I really want to do right now is give my notice before my birthday.
