Another Sad Day

I went to Camarillo this past weekend to visit the cemetary. They had finally got the grave marker in place, so I wanted to see how it looked. Although it looked nice, I discovered that they had Rarit's birth date wrong. Jude called them and they agreed that they would correct the mistake. That will probably take a couple of months.

It was very difficult for me to visit the grave site. I miss them all so much and feel so absolutely lost and empty with them gone. This is the worst feeling that anyone could possibly have. I love them so much. They were such wonderful people.

Just another day in the park

You talk about feast or famine. I go along for months without hearing anything serious from anyone, then all of a sudden the phone is ringing off the hook, so to speak. I've heard from 4 different folks in the last couple of weeks regarding potential opportunities. It seems like as soon as the Xetron thing dried up, then several other things popped up. The most promising looks to be a position with EDO Corporation supporting the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab. I'm not sure how they ever became aware of me, but somehow they did and we've been talking. While visiting them, I met with an old friend and he indicates that he might have something for me. Then today I get a call from a guy regarding a position with Sierra Nevada Corp. I'm not sure if this position is here or in Sparks, NV. And finally, I get an email from another recruiter checking to see if I'm still in the market. This guy and the guy representing SNC apparently know each other.

So, we'll see what happens. I've been through this a few times, enough to realize that nothing is final until the fat lady signs an offer letter.
