Making progress and reconnecting.....ayieee

Thanks CG and Puppy for the input.

The job I was shooting for was a different line of work than what I do. It was a federal job working with the Bureau of Land Mangement.(It is already taken).

I have been working in telecommunications for the past 11 years. The reason for the change up you may ask. I had been laid off 4 times in those past years. I was lucky to find something in my field at home when it came up. I already took a good pay cut to live and work here. To tell the truth, I am just tired of starting over and at the bottom every 3 or so years. Even if I find another job in LA, I am sure I will take yet another hit at living at the bottom of tha barrel. I do not mind starting over once again, but it would have to be a different line of work.


I had worked on the road 7 out of those 11 years too. I already made it clear to W that I will not travel like that ever again. Its not good for the marriage nor for raising a family. Yes, we or I, have one more year left on the contract and does gives plenty of time to find a job. ...depending on this economy.

I did find a few good prospects out in New Mexico. They range in either making alot more money(cost of living factored in) to less money. what ever job I do take, W has already said she would find something full time and pick up the slack. She has already started putting in applications to several positions to transfer to in her line of work. The problem is that they fill as fast as they come out. We'll have to just play it by ear.

oh..and the rocky road get smoother and smoother every day. I do hit that occasional pot hole.
