I got a mailing from Honda today, asking me if I want to “self-identify,” which basically means they want to know if I want to declare an ethnicity. Greta and I are excited about this. Any time I’ve received one of these, I’ve also had an interview, so we’ll see what transpires. Either way we are optimistic.

Outwars
Alright, we got a new game to play! It’s called Outwars. You can be a gangster, a pop star, or a monster. You get stronger by either recruiting thugs, winning fans, or eating people. How do you do that? By getting people to click on your personal link. So whether you’re thinking of playing or you’re not, click on my link to check it out:

I’m a gangster, so you can be recruited to my posse. If you decide you want to play the game, you can fill out the little form at the bottom of the page and become a gangster and recruit your own thugs! It’s pretty cool so take a look.!

Job offer update
We still haven’t decided 100% what we are going to do about the job at LM. To both Greta and I, Virginia just doesn’t feel right. I finally got a little more information about the job from one of my (would be) managers and his description just doesn’t really excite me. My title would be “Systems Engineer” which sounds cool but it just doesn’t seem to be my idea of engineering. One thing he said was “We do not build hardware” This was kind of a buzz kill because that’s one thing I would like to be involved with. That’s not to say that I wouldn’t enjoy being a systems engineer, it just seems like moving to another state to take a job that I don’t find interesting would be a mistake. Another hang up I have is that I didn’t actively pursue this job, they sought me out. While that is a great ego boost, I went into the interview knowing next to nothing about the job. It just doesn’t seem to be what I want, even if it is a job in a jobless market right now.
I would probably take this type of job if it wasn’t out of the state. As far as my pros and cons go, location trumps a job I’m not excited about. We are thinking that we’ll stay here while I continue to look for a “better” job. That might still be out of state, but it would be something I really like. I’ve also tossed around the idea of law school for the past few years, so I may pursue that idea. I am also going to get some information about taking a course to be a patent agent. They don’t make as much as patent/IP lawyers, so that is also an option.
We shall see!

In case you were wondering
Just so no one freaks out, those are magnetic ear rings. Greta did look mad but she immediately guessed they were fake. I guess I don’t get to pierce Corinne’s ears anytime soon.
Oh well.
