Leaving for Florida soon ...

[chicken]

We're leaving for Florida on Sat. th 24th of June. That is not enough time to pack!

In other news, we went to a relative's graduation party in Portsmouth, RI this weekend and saw some Balloon Animals in a field on the way there! Balloon cows, specifically. There was this group of cows, see, and right in the middle of the field there was a big bunch of balloons. I think they were having a party, too. MOOOOO! It wasn't nearly as funny as the beaver we saw a few weeks ago stealing donuts from Krispy Kreme, but still.

Any of you who live near Providence or Attleboro, who want free programming or mathematics books, speak up by tomorrow (I'll be freecycling them tomorrow). N.B.: Some of these books originally came with CDs, but I don't have those anymore, or they are already in sealed boxes.

Oh, that's an interesting way to get rid of the rest of my old tech books. :-) I took a bunch down to the library for the Friends of the Library sale, but still have a bunch more that I need to dispose of *sob*

You should seriously check out Freecycle. They're Yahoo groups, and there seems to be one for most major and medium-sized cities. Strangers will take almost anything for free. It's way better than leaving it up to trash-pickers and dumpster divers or giving everything to the salvation army.

P.S., go to the main freecycle page.

Yay for the big move finally! Is there a job waiting, or will that come later? What's the plan?

[chicken-cem.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately that will come later -- people just don't want to hire remote candidates, they always prefer local ones. I am therefore confident I can find something once we are actually down there.

I feel so bad about how long this has dragged out, and I feel like I haven't read LJ in months, not more than a brief and very occasional skim.

Congratulations!!!!

Well no, I did not get a job. But too bad, we are moving anyway!

We will actually be somewhere in South Carolina, driving with two sullen cats in the back seat, on our anniversary! Well, hopefull not TOO sullen. :-)

Good for you! I know that people were giving you a hard time while you were looking because you weren't in Florida. I think this is a great adventure. Good luck!
