Well, I didn't think it would turn out like this.  In my last article, which was almost 3 months ago, I was looking for a job.  Well, I'm still looking.  It is amazing... there are quite a few jobs here.  It seem like there are just a whole lot of people looking for the same jobs I am... and apparently they are more qualified. I have sent out a lot of resumes and submitted a lot of applications.  And I have received a few responses but in the end was turned down while they "elected to pursue other candidates in hopes that we can best fit the needs of the department." I'm not sure what that is suppose to mean.  A week later I found the same job posted.  So I applied for it again.  I can't imagine how many others are like me out there.

Well, since my last article I completed the module I was writing for Joomla.  I may get to put it to use someday.  I have also taken a CompTIA Linux + and Network + course through the IEEE Computer Society an excellent organization by the way.  I have really been taking advantage of the Safari Books Online as well as the Technical courses.  "As of January 1, 2011, CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+ and CompTIA Security+ certifications are valid for three years from the date the candidate becomes certified. A “valid through” date will appear on all certificates and certificate holder CompTIA ID cards."  So my goal was to take the Network + test before the end of the year.  But it doesn't look like it is going to happen.  We have almost gone through our savings and even though I am picking up odd jobs here and there the money is getting really tight.

Of course we would move to Utah where it is cold.  It has been... in a word... COLD here the last couple of weeks.  The high this week is suppose to be 44 degrees the end of the week.  We have been going through $20 in propane a week.  But enough of that.  I'm not going to ask for money... it just doesn't taste right.  But if you wish to offer a donation, I won't turn it down... Thank you for listening.
