STAYING IN AMARILLO!!

Excellent news came my way today. I've got the job I've been after since December!!!!! I got the phone call about 30 minutes after making my other blog post about being ill. Needless to say, I'm feeling MUCH better now. :-) This is without a doubt an answered prayer. Thanks to all who have been keeping me in thought and prayer this whole time. It's been a real battle to land this job. Not only is this an outstanding, unique and stable career opportunity, it will of course allow me to stay here at home...the Texas Panhandle. The thought of NOT having to relocate back to the festering armpit of DFW is enough to make me dance in the streets today....if I weren't recovering from illness (as detailed in my post below). :-)

I will start March 2...and not a day too soon. YIPPEE!!!!

In regards to gasto episodes, if you can't see thru, leave it alone. Stay with bland foods, it will be better on your stomach. Oatmeal has fiber and its job it to keep you regulated, which would aid in the diarrahea, if already had an upset tummy. Also push fluids which will clean out your system.

Woohoo I still have a chase buddy!!!!! I was getting worried you were gonna have to move back to cowtown. Now we can go do some fishing and play us some poker. I bet it was a major load off your mind. I know you have been seriously stressed. Now its time for a night of steak and beers.

Congrats. I too have a bit of work life stability as I’m named in the transition contract for moving data centers. No chase season for Bob, but considering Vortex 2 this may be the year to miss.

Thanks everybody for the thoughts! :-) The past few months have indeed been pretty stressful with the economy tanking like it is with no end yet in sight.

I feel humbled and extremely fortunate that my new job will be highly resistent to the economic crisis now and into the future. Pne of my greatest fears would have been to relocate to DFW for an IT job only to get laid off soon after. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared right now for the future of our country's economic foundation. It's unprecedented.

So, I am a very happy little camper and deeply grateful to my friends and family who have supported and encouraged me through the last few months. I ask that thoughts and prayers be turned towards other now who are less fortunate as I. Our country needs a miracle right now (and no...that doesn't include Obama! sorry...couldn't resist...LOL!).

I'm glad to hear of the good fortune, Steve. It gives me hope that once I get my IT certifications I will be able to market myself better for a job.

I just got to reading your blog today Steve... CONGRATS!!!! That is excellent news. As for this year being like 06.... I say bring it on. Some of my fave chases of all time were from that year. That crazy beast of a hybrid HP was wild! And it was nice getting on a classic tornadic sup in SD... with no convergence! The only thing I would worry about for me is I hope the first two weeks of May are good because that is the time I can only go.

Jus' kiddin' man, don't forget to give the dryline an extra push when it comes by.
