Some movement on the job front!

This week I have had two very positive phone conversations with nice people at a hospital in Mt. Vernon, Washington (about an hour north of Seattle).  I found out that my resume was sent there by the school I visited last month, and the hospital is very ready to move forward with their medical education program.  So far, I like everything I hear about the place and their plans for the future.  It could be *perfect* for me. They don't quite have "my" job ready, but they will by January 1st.  My next step is to submit a formal job application so that I can be invited up to interview.

Meanwhile, on the same day that I had my first phone call, Kit had a discussion with his boss about the chances of being transferred to Seattle.  Strangely enough, the Seattle NOAA office is relatively short-staffed these days because lots of employees are working full-time on the oil spill.  So they might really need him to transfer there.  And their timeline would likely be January 1st.

I think we might be moving north in December.  :-)  Don't want to count my chickens, but these are just about the most positive bits of news I've had in over two years.
