Easter's coming...

2nd Interview is coming - now not until at least 4/22.  I fly home this Thursday night for the weekend. 

Church was odd this morning, It was about the triumphant entry into Jerusalem - so in theory it was about the Son of Man vs. Returning King theme, but was so poorly executed I couldn't figure out where he was intending to go.  As worship goes, a good team - But I think preaching has devolved, so often to the same 20 themes.  I dunno, I heard a sermon about study the other day, it didn't cover half the points of the Study rollo outline, or the gold standard -  Pastor George's legal sheet of study and discipline. 

Work is fine - my code went into production Friday night, no hitches (they had my #).

Busy Friday

Had a 6+ hour interview, it's a small Tandem shop that uses basically as a platform for one large app.  The job wouldn't really be developement anymore, but installing patches, and fixes (just like Target and ACI)  - debugging and ad'hoc reporting.  Seems VERY doable.  Interviews went well - but at the end was told, after the job is posted, I'd need to actually apply and re-interview.  Thought I nailed it - but have doubts that I somehow scr*wed the pooch at the end and that would be why they'd need to see me all over again.  They've got the leverage, they say jump, I'll say "how high?"  Wondering how I messed this up - It would be great, nice people, good salary and benefits (yea, health ins again). 

D. had a good time as crew for the Torrington Middle School production of "Jr. High School Musical" Two more show to go, and a jr. high after party...

N. had his Blue and Gold tonight - I felt so useless, at something we did together for so long.  So many little things that we'd tried and tweaked and improved over the years - All starting that stuff over again.  But Cub Scouts never has much of an institutional memory since so many leader are in for 4-5 years and gone.  The sense that Day Camp was gone was very poinent and in the air - people who've gone to Camp School, forms, the sales pitch - all sorts of stuff that that made up something I loved doing. 

I'm working so hard not to imagine this job, and a parts of my life that it would give back to me.

A busy, non-sucky (might be too good to be true) day

Remembering Great Nanna and Aunt Ethel on their birthdays.
Marking a year away from home, and Nanna being gone a year.

Interview (Fulltime, in CT) on Friday - Prayers everyone!  Gotta find my suit/tie.

Work is busy, the environment is such an improvement over my last gig.  Flying home tomorrow (very early) for a long weekend.  Someone saw my for sale sign in the camper, and left a # - wouldn't that be a blessing.
