It seems like just yesterday that I last blogged. Unfortunately, the clear display of the dates on this blog give me away. Well, at least the reason is good news. I posted my resume on monster.com earlier this week. The next day I got several responses, including one from a company that specializes in temp jobs for computer professionals, Volt. They had found an opportunity that seemed to match with my resume. We talked a couple times that day, and then the next day, Thursday, I started a 2-3 week project in El Segundo! The only down side is that I have to commute, and Jamie has to take the bus or walk to work when I'm gone with the car. The commute can be as short as 20 minutes with no traffic, but it has taken me as long as an hour and a half to get home. I tell you, if someone is going to invent an alternative to our highway system, they'll probably be sitting on the Santa Monica Freeway when they come up with it. The job is at Menemsha Companies, a general contractor that does a lot of Starbuck's work. They need me, because they bought an ASP-based Customer Relationship Management software package, and they need it customized for their company. The work is right up my alley, and I enjoy it, except that I have to use Notepad to write the code in, which slows me down a little bit.

On another note, Jamie and I qualified for Wawanesa insurance, which is about the cheapest auto insurance I've ever seen, but it is apparently hard to qualify. The only thing we have to do to finish up the process is get California driver's licenses. So, very soon, we will become official residents.
