Viola shopping Part - on hold

February 17, 2006 at 2:19 AM

Well, My shopping for a new viola is now on hold due to getting laid off two weeks ago. Bummer. Good news is that I have 3 interviews lined up for the next couple of days and they are promicing. One is for a position up in Portland - where I know someone. I've interviewed with 3 of their folks so far and they are flying me up there this weekend for a Monday interview with, it seems, the whole plant and the CTO. (crossing fingers).

If this one goes well, I'll be looking at finding a new teacher, instead of a new instrument right away, then re-begin the whole shopping thing all over again. :::sigh:::

I'm sorry to read about you being laid off Mendy! I wish you the very best of luck with the Portland interview. From what I've heard it's a great place to live.

I have been unemployed for most of the last four years. I had a job interview today, and it was a doozie -- loaded with insults and illegal discrimination. My last interview was 6 months ago, and I've been looking hard for years. I wish my situation was as promising as yours.

Mendy,
Dress warmly. A cold blast is predicted to move into the area tomorrow (Friday). Otherwise the timing is good: After record weeks of rain, the clouds have scuttled away. Mt Hood, Mt St Helen & Mt Ranier can be seen in their full splendor.

Hope the interview goes well!

Good luck on the job search. I think Portland would be an awesome place to live - the summer I was there was spectacular. Any city that leaves yellow bicycles laying around for people to ride is way cool in my book.

Mendy, OMG! Nasty Silicon Valley - nasty! Can't live with it, can't live without it. But I must say, I'd be heartbroken if you left the San Lorenzo Valley for Portland. You're my closest neighbor! Drop me an email with your interview progress, please!
