Employment becomes me

Or I become employed, something like that.

Yes, friends, after 8 months of joblessness and about TEN months of looking, I will start a new job June 1, 2009. It'll be nice to work again and move to a bigger place (this one-bedroom stuff is ok for one person, but not two adults and a baby).

However, the bigger place is in the Philippines. Just south of Manila (scramble frantically for Google Earth now, dear readers).

To cut to the quip: if I'da known I'd be on hiatus for 8 months and then go back to Asia, I'd have just stayed in Asia.

Maybe I'll update the blog more while I'm employed. But probably not :^D

Happy May Day!

It's a big holiday in China and my friends there get a 3-day weekend. Enjoy, my friends!

We recently drove from Philly to Omaha to visit the US family, with a stop in Pittsburgh for a job interview. It was a good trip, highlights being four nights without the baby (thanks, Grandma!) and the baby being weaned to a bottle. Well, best part was actually getting to spend time with the family. I'm not doing that drive again, though, because my increasingly strained knee turned out to be DVT - blood clot in the leg. Oy!

So, after one night in the hospital, I am now laid up for a few days taking my medicine and trying to dissolve some, but not all, parts of my body. Weird when you think of it that way.

Trip photos, mostly of the pretty Mouse, will be coming as soon as I can spend time at my desk. I don't like doing a lot of work on the laptop while it is on my lap - get's too damn hot.
