Well, it’s not Chicago, but it’s closer than NC (and it’s definitely not Kansas City!). I had a phone interview with a company in Columbus, OH this morning – things seem pretty good, at least I think I’m through into the next stage of interviewing. Still have a call in to the recruiter for the Lafayette job to see what the heck they’re up to, but she’s out all week and I probably won’t hear back until Monday.
And so we slide into the holiday weekend with nothing much to show, but at least I’ll have my wuff with me. I’m really looking forward to Anthrocon – it will be a welcome change of pace. We won’t have much money to spend, but half the fun is finding creative ways to keep costs down. OK, we’ll splurge on the two cases of Starbucks Doubleshots, though…
Oh, and as Takaza mentioned, we’re looking for crash space just for the night somewhere between Richmond and DC the Wednesday before Anthrocon so we don’t have to get up waaaay too early Thursday and drive it in a straight shot. Also, if anyone’s interested in doing dinner on Thursday night at con, let us know!
Todd and I’ll be there Thursday night, and with luck, Stevie will be too, so unless Todd or Stevie object to me speaking for them, we’d probably be agreeable to meeting up for dinner.
I’ve not gone before I’m afraid, though, so I wouldn’t know where to go. Suggestions?
Becky and Patrick (my ride to AC) told me they wanted to hit Morimoto (Iron Chef Japanese) Thursday night. Never been there myself, nor do I think it would be in any of our price ranges.
How ’bout the TGI Fridays next to the Denny’s on the corner?
Never been there myself, nor do I think it would be in any of our price ranges.
Would love to go there one of these days, but, um…yeah. Prices start at $80/person for dinner, and go up from there 😉
So I’m guessing you won’t need a ride from me then? But the Tub ‘o coon was so looking forward to riding with you. 🙂
I’d offer crash space at my place near DC, but I am heading up to AC Wednesday not myself. I could do dinner Thursday.
We’ll have to see what plans develop. I should have remembered the old adage: no plans survive contact with the convention. Our schedule is somewhat up in the air but who knows? Thanks for the almost-offer of crash space, though 🙂
I’ll see ya at AC!
and hey! Omaha is always a wonderful place to work and live 😉
