How (and why) to Ramble on your goat sideways
In reality, I'll likely have to move to a larger, and more expensive, city to get the kind of pay/opportunities I really want.
Ooorrrrrr... move here. Think of the trouble we could get into. We could smoke meat (nohomo) and drink beer all day every day on my deck.
There's even two houses for rent on my street. Both should be under a grand a month.
Same, I'm looking at a 25% increase. Though it comes at a cost, as it's a long-term contract position rather than full-time. And I'll be leaving one of the top-10 "best companies to work for". So a lot of that 25% doesn't cover the awesome benefits that I have now. But the chance to move from testing boring business software to writing code for an IndyCar driving simulator is not something I can pass on.
If I move it would probably be Denver, Portland, or Salt Lake City.

I just got offered a position as a professional fire-fighter out of the clear blue sky.
As an added bonus, my current company wants to keep me on as a scientist on my days off.
No resume required.

I also watched a crew of smokejumpers eat enough food to feed 200 Boy Scouts for a week. Mad respect for those guys.

The driver headlight in the NB has a problem turning on sometimes.
I've been tapping the bulb on the core support to get it to turn on.
This has been going on for months.

Cat related. 0.20 is the best part.
