OK, I’ve finally gotten everything confirmed (or as confirmed as I can with this recruiter – grrr). So here’s my itinerary over the next week or so:
Sunday, 8/8 – Drive from NC to Urbana, IL, with a stop in Asheville to ferry some belongings northwards. Spend the night at mirkowuff‘s. (Mirko, because of the detour, I probably won’t be in until 9 PM at the earliest. If things run later, I’ll give you a call.)
Monday – Drive up to Chicago. Settle in for the next few days at Linnaeus‘ groovy pad.
Tuesday – Interview at Abbott at 10 AM. Scour the area to try to set up more interviews.
Wednesday – Thursday – Do whatever possible to get a damn job (maybe help Daveqat and 
Syn move on Thursday)
Thursday night – Pick up takaza at O’Hare.
Friday – Meet with folks on FurFest-related stuff. Do bachelor-party-esque things for Giles.
Saturday – Giles and Beth‘s wedding.
Sunday – Midwest FurFest staff meeting.
Monday – Friday – More job hunting. Dinners with friends. Maybe start work (Optimistic much?).
If anyone needs to reach me, my net connectivity will be spotty but usually I’ll be able to get e-mail at least once a day. My cell phone always works. And hey, thanks to some of the discussion in Loxley‘s journal, I now have Skype; my username there is duncanhusky. (I won’t always have a mic handy, so you may want to IM me first if you want to talk that way)
is under the impression you might be available and willing to help him move as well, as he’s going from his apartment to and ‘s new place.
I will indeed be available, though unfortunately I’m taking my car, not The Box, so my cargo carrying capacity will be limited. I’m happy to help, though, until such time as I need to leave to get Takaza at O’Hare.
Yikes. Drive cross-country much? 😉
Everybody needs a hobby… 🙂
I bet your Element cries every time you put it in “Drive.”
This would explain why I’m taking my car this time around. We’re trying to spread the insanely excessive mileage out over two cars. Yeesh.
Good luck!
Good luck job hunting! I get to fly across the country to the Bay area on Sunday to go interview on Monday. <crosses fingers> Maybe we’ll both get lucky…
Woot! Shall be good to see you, as always. 🙂
Skype is great! 🙂
Me and a bunch of other folks who are working on various webcomics use it to coordinate and talk back and forth. Where on earth did you see me mention it in my livejournal though? 🙂
