Re: Does not follow...
After 5 weeks of unemployment after being unexpectedly laid off, it appears I will have three or four job offers next week.

Re: Does not follow...
DD got a pink Crickett for Christmas after she turned 6. S&H wanted "an orange rifle" (because Nemo is life) last Christmas after he turned 6. Couldn't get a Crickett with an orange stock, so he got a Savage Rascal. The trigger in the Crickett isn't bad. But compared to the Savage AccuTrigger? Night and day. I noticed that her biggest problem was maintaining support-hand stability while trying to get the 'gentle squeeze' for the trigger to break... so back to the local MoD for a pink-stocked Rascal. Previous practice for 4-H rifle team she shot a 120 and a 134 with the Crickett. With the new rifle? 159.
The boy can't shoot officially until he's in 4-H (still a Clover Kid), but at the end of practice he gets a chance. We had to stop shooting before he made it all the way through his target, but when we stopped he was at an 87 out of a possible 130 points, so on track for 120-130. They love shooting, and are consistent, which is the biggest thing for working on getting better. She wasn't really sure the first time we went out, but on the way home from her very first practice asked "Can we do that again?". Yes child. Absolutely yes.

That's delightful!

Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D

I ended up with three offers. One contract only position, which would pay the lowest rate of the three; it was easily eliminated.Captain Wheelgun wrote: ↑Mon Mar 27, 2023 4:54 pmCongratulations.

One contract to hire position with a university. Except for health care costs, the benefits were nice. I would be managing 9 people with 5 to 10 years experince who were still putting bad code into production on regular basis. My main job was to fix their poor performance. Not sure which among them would be mad I got the job they wanted. I passed on this for the final offer, from a medical billing company, which was the most money/best benefits and probably the least amount of stress.

Sometimes that is the most important part.
Congratulations.
