Well, I’ve got kind of mixed feelings right now.
First off, the bad: Got a call this morning from the recruiter that has the Lafayette, IN job. While her client liked me and still wants to interview me, they have just installed a temporary hiring freeze. She doesn’t anticipate that it will last more than a month or so, but in the meantime any interviews with them go straight to the back burner. Crap. I’d hoped to have a good fallback position in case the Carol Stream job falls through, but I guess you work with what you’ve got.
On the brighter side, we have some good news: Supreme Court strikes down sodomy laws! This is good news on a number of fronts, and not even the most obvious ones (though it’s kind of nice not to have to be an unconvicted felon in the state of North Carolina anymore). Bowers vs. Hardwick (and its stepchild here in NC, the Crimes Against Nature Law) has been used as justification for everything from banning gays from the military to preventing even the mention of homosexuality in school curricula (except, of course, to mention that sodomy is against the law in the state of North Carolina) to barring adoption by same-sex couples. There’s going to be a lot of repercussions from this ruling and I think a lot of good is going to be done. For an excellent analysis of the Lawrence decision, check out this commentary by Yale Law School professor Jack Balkin.
awww-HOORAY! π
or in other words it’s a shame that the job scene is having setbacks, but I rejoice over OUR freedom (me being gay (albeit flexible) myself)

That is too bad, I’d love to have you around here..
As for the other. Woo! π
*hugs*
I sure hope your able to move back to the midwest!
I ran into a hiring freeze after I applied for a job in
maintenence at the local hospital. I hope it lifts soon
and I get the job…. *sigh* I need stable income right now…
Data’s been affected by a few hiring freezes as well looking for a job, they suck, especially after everyone has made all the efforts of arranging for the job. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you, and have Purr do the same.
