Messages From Syd

Go to Guy's blob and read Messages From Syd.

I may have passed on a chance to visit Guy. I applied for a job at the community college near him. The HR Director called our house late Thursday night. I suspect it was to arrange a job interview--by phone, or better (per my ulterior motive), in person.

But, I have no intention taking the job. I don't want to be on the west coast again. I promised Amanda we'd stay in East Jesus proper until she's out of high school. And quite honestly I really enjoy life in VA. There's also the huge pay cut I'd take... and that can't happen. So, it wouldn't be right for me to expense the college when I have no intent on taking the job were one to be offered. I sent an email yesterday withdrawing my application.

Damn, I'd have beaten Syd and would have been the first to meet Guy and see his farm.

Even if you didn't go- it must feel nice to know they were interested in you.

I have a fly on the wall that said they were very interested. Trop has the goods. She should be on the lecture circuit.

Another day, Trop, another day.

Yes, there is nothing that feels better than being wanted...

Well, maybe a few things feel better, not many....

Trop said...

Thanks Guy, that's nice to know. We'll get out there, I promise.

Even if you can't take it, it's nice to be wanted!

I feel bad that I missed Guy's go-round up here in Seattle a few months ago. :(

Perhaps sooner than later we'll head down to Oregon.
