However one can believe a talk-about-whatever-thread is the "chat thread" and hijack that.

(my spelling, grammer, and punctuation suck, I know, but regardless of how much I read they haven't improved much since grade school. It's actually a bit of a family joke.

While theoretically different, practically those two are synonimous more often than not :P

Yes I understood that I just hate smilies so it may have been hard to tell. I figured since he opened the semantics door it was fair play.

Ah! A Thespian experience awaits! I haven't been on stage since I played 'Widow Twanky' in Aliddin at primary school, I think that is a good thing!
Break a leg!

Hubby is 25 minutes into his first phone interview of the day.  Has another scheduled at 1 pm.... other may pop up.

His current employer just lost a major contract and they haven't loaded a decent amount of trucks this week, so...... everyone's hours have been cut, by a lot.  Not looking forward to this next pay check since he's come home half day the last two days and took all of today off for phone time. :verysad:

At least the recruiter thinks he's worth a hell of a lot more than he's being paid and has found a few potential jobs in his general field....

Thanks man!  Ooof...it's a bugger of a play, that's for sure.  We'll see if the audience is willing to come along with us.  On our opening night, we had a bit of a tech melt-down.  Our projector didn't work, meaning that the filmed 10 minute monologue, which included crucial plot points, just didn't play.  That was fun to improv around...

With luck he'll find something better. Fingers crossed!

Good luck to your hubby!  I certainly hope he finds something that will pay him what he's worth.

It all adds to the excitement for the audience, nothing like watching a melt down.

Now what's that saying? Ah yes!

What's the difference between terror and excitement?

Yeah, I'm hoping it's in state though.  Not wanting to move across country after finally being able to buy a house.  We bought it just before the housing market crashed on not so good credit.  Even though we got a really good loan and have never even been late on a payment, I'm not thinking we'll be able to buy another place given the drastic changes in lending practices  :verysad:

But sacrifices we are used to making.........
