After a long, long drought things are finally starting to look up. I had a phone interview with Noveon this morning for a job at their Avon Lake, OH plant. Yeah, I know – directly on the receiving end of lake effect snow. Well, that’s bearable, I think. The position sounds like a good one – extremely similar to my last position except with some different technologies. The phone interview went well, I think – I established a great rapport with the engineer I spoke with, and he seemed to think I’d be a good fit for the job. I should hear in two weeks if they want me to come in to interview. Hmm – I may be flying out for a job interview from Chicago, for the second year in a row. Well, that keeps life interesting.

I also have a line on a job in a much less desirable place. Initially, the job is in Edison, NJ, then after six months moves out to Hackettstown, NJ. The latter is bearable, even pleasant, the former…well, I’d rather not, but it is a job. I kind of doubt I have the background they’re looking for on that one, but it continues to be a possibility.

Takaza went up to Duke Medical Center this morning to get a second opinion on some of the medical issues he’s had lately. No immediate answers there, but I feel a lot better knowing that several people are looking into the problem. Duke has a good reputation, and I’m confident that he’ll get excellent care from there.

Not too much else going on this week. Frantic preparations for MFF continue apace, with lots of editing still to be done for Dan. We’re getting together tonight to carve pumpkins over at me_not_you and wildmouse‘s, then there’s Thomas and Sherry’s Halloween party on Saturday. And yes, Perro and ZenWolph, we’ll see you at the CarolinaFur Halloween party later that night – we may not show until 10 PM or so, though.

And now, I’m heading out to do a bit of grocery shopping, pick up some pumpkins, and maybe even get a hair cut. Ah, the glamour and excitement that is my life!
