not much news...

The free weekend in the Catskills, payment for enduring a painful time-share sales pitch several months ago, turned out to be very relaxing. The resort was nice, although our room was in the oldest section and in pretty serious need of some updating. Still, it was large and clean and most everything in it worked. We attended an Oktoberfest on Hunter Mountain and had a lot of fun. The photo is of Paul and "the chicken lady" - one of the "characters" we met at the Oktoberfest!


I interviewed for a new job yesterday. I'd already interviewed with the department manager by phone. That went well. The in-person interview was over 2.5 hours and I met with four different people. The department manager was the first interview and it was one hour. Since I had already spoken with her on the phone, you'd think that would have been a breeze. On the contrary; I was most nervous for that portion of the interview. I REALLY hope I get the job, but I fear I may have come across as incompetent and inarticulate on the part of the interview that was the most important. I eventually calmed down and had wonderful conversations with the other three people, whose input probably carries far less weight. I'll know whether or not I totally blew it within a couple of weeks. Please say a little prayer for me. The environment at my current job has become so stressful that it is literally taking a toll on my health.

PacMan is doing fine...no more seizures.

Nothing else new to report!
