This weekend I visited some family. Saturday afternoon I drove down to Concord, NH to meet my aunt Laurie. Sunday she and I drove over to Portland, Maine to keep Uncle Marc and Aunt Susan company while they had an open house, because they're trying to sell their condo before they move fo New Mexico. (Marc had a job there and liked it so much they decided to stay, or something.) I drove back to Middlebury this morning.

I went to that follow-up interview. Mr. Dalton offered me the job, and I accepted. I start August 1. And I told that placement agency to keep me in mind for anything until then. As I said, it's not a perfect job, but it's far from the worst too, and at least I'll have one.
