In which we ask for good thoughts...

[jesshartley]

The Viking is one of two finalists for a Dir. of Tech. position for a county in rural Southeastern Arizona.

This would be a very good position for him. It's government work, which would allow him to supplement the 15 years in education technology he's accumulated thus far. It's a raise, and the position has not only its own office, but its own secretary and finance manager for the tech department.

And it's in the town he went to high school in, so he's got some history there.

Cost of living is about 20% lower than here in Taxachussets. And it's about 4 hours drive to my parent's home in Yuma, and while flying out of Tucson to visit the kids in Oregon is almost as expensive as flying out of Bradley, it's a 4-5 hour jump rather than a 10-11 hour one, each way. Bit difference on how often we could visit, since the full-day flights mean weekend trips are almost worthless (even on a three day weekend, one day out, one day back means one day there.)

So... Please keep your fingers crossed for us. His boss already knows (she was called before he was informed he was in the running. That bit of unprofessionalism on their part is going to make it tense here if he doesn't get the job, so that's an extra little "yes, please" for moving to Bisbee.)

It will be sad to see you guys go, but I have my fingers crossed any way. Good luck!

Good luck!

Yes, please. Good job for the Viking! *Crosses fingers*

Although, you would still be able to be at Port-con, yes? They say they don't pay for their guests travel or lodgings, so I'm hoping you'll be there. I might be, if my job stuff works out (and a Changeling guest on Free RPG Day means I could get that quick start guide, yes?).

Good Luck! Though you'd sure be missed.

[shetala.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a good fit. Here's hopin'.

[annathepiper]

Lots of luck for you and yours!

You KNOW I'm rooting for you!!!! If we become neighbors, I might FINALLY have the chance to get back into gaming in real life, as opposed to this computerized much (which I love, don't get me wrong).

ALL MY HOPES!!

Tucson?

[jcomer2001.livejournal.com]

If you move down here, shall we frolic through the saguaros? How charming. I need to visit Tucson anyhow, what with Native Seeds and all. Good luck either way.

Bisbee, actually. Where are you at?

Hesperia, as before. But Bisbee has these cool peas!

I am totally keeping fingers and toes crossed, and even doing some positive thinking... who knows, maybe mind over matter - or mind over other minds - works =]

[ladycoyote.livejournal.com]

Lots and Lots and LOTS of good thoughts for the Viking!!

(Matt's never been to AZ. I love it! Sounds like a road trip to me!) ;)

[courtierka.livejournal.com]

And it would be much easier for me to come visit you!

Here's hoping!
