The job search does seem to be going okay. I got a job offer yesterday (same company that just the the layoff before start thing, but a different group) after an interview earlier that day. I've got an interview for a different position with the same employer I have now on Monday. I have a phone interview with the Federal Reserve Tuesday. I have a third interview (the one set up today) on Wednesday. I'm waiting for a decision from an interview about a week and a half ago. I also am meeting with two recruiters tomorrow. Luckily, I don't really have much to do at work right now.
It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Wow, that sounds really positive, Gud!

I know Trump doesn't list it among his accomplishments, but somehow he's made Nancy Pelosi cool.

I think you are crushing it with the job searching, Gud.
My manager wants to chat with me in a few weeks about my career aspirations. Right now my career aspirations are best quantified as a shrug emoji.

My career aspirations are to continue to get paid and not hate myself for what I do.

I think mostly it's just a good market right now for experienced software developers. I think having worked for Motorola and Lowe's helps as well. Name recognition and all that.

My career aspirations continue to be paid muse. Sadly have not found the person that I can muse for.

Timelies all!
We are going to MarsCon, in Williamsburg. Never been to it before but it's making up for the fact that we can't go to Boskone this year(Gary has a work obligation on Presidents' Day weekend). Plus, Seanan McGuire and Cat Valente are guests.
