(See what I'm talking about)
Sorry, but you're all just going to have to wait to hear about our smelly fish escapades from last evening (to ruin the story: we ended up ordering pizza. Yeow).Anyway, I have decided instead to update all on our job search escapades (I say "our" because I'm looking for a new office as well - wherever we end up, I'll be working from home there, so that counts, right?). So we have mentioned the Steamboat job, of course. But I'm not sure we've talked about the Reno job, or the Portland job. Or all the other jobs, for that matter. And I'm not sure D will be comfortable talking about it all because she's under some grand illusion that people will google her to find out more about her (Google? What's that?). So, as I see it, it's my husbandly duty to let everyone know what we're up to (though I think that if she blogs about all the places she's interested in, the ones that are interested in her will only fight harder to get her - and they'll fight with MONEY punches). Not that money is everything, etc, etc.
So as of last night, "we" have submitted her CV to our first three choices (I don't want to say "top", but really how could you beat Steamboat or Reno?). Today I think I'm going to send off to at least five more - we have a list of about fifteen.
And for your googling convenience, I'll list them here:
- Steamboat Springs, CO SUBMITTED
- Portland, OR SUBMITTED
- Reno, NV SUBMITTED
- San Francisco East Bay
- Whidbey Island, WA
- Coastal Northern California
- Sacramento, CA
- Richland, WA
- "Central Vermont" (outside Montpelier)
- Trumbull, CT
- Salem, NH
- Woodburn, OR
- Wenatchee, WA
We missed an opportunity in Greeley, CO (just south of Fort Collins, CO, one of my top choices), but that's what we get for Dana focusing on her boards, I guess.
Either way, we're still getting a good head-start, it seems, and Dana has already spoken to the practice in Steamboat once and verified that as long as she's a "good enough" snowboarder, she can get from the slopes to the hospital in time if she's paged. We're waiting to hear back for her second interview.
Also, I just caught a glimpse at an email (I have a bad habit of checking her email for job responses now - we need to sit down and talk about "boundaries") that she received about the position in Portland.
So far, our six-hour cover letter has garnered some VERY speedy responses.
GO TEAM FITZ!
(As soon as I decide to take the time, I'll consider putting up a poll so y'all can vote on where we should go).

Wohoo to being ahead in the game! I think I'm a bit behind - but at least the resume is done!

What locale doesn't fit with the others on that list?!?!? Sacramento. While it's close to Tahoe/Reno and San Francisco, unfortunately, it is in fact neither of them. Anything else I like. Can I actually leave stuff at your new place if I visit often enough?!?!?

Well, the draw isn't Reno, it's Tahoe (fortunately, right next door. Unfortunately, expensive). And personally I think I'd rather be in (cheaper, more relaxed) Sacramento than in (VERY EXPENSIVE, bustling) San Francisco. So... Yeah.
Another update - D just got an email about two positions in upstate NY and asked what I thought. I think that for now, at least until she's done with boards, we should probably just focus on the jobs we really want. After that, we can cast the net wider.
And if they fly her (us?) out for an interview (and it happens to be ski season), then who are we to be too picky about Reno? I've never been there - I'd love to see it to pass judgement.

California is great, although expensive and earthquake prone. Check out this link. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/recenteqs/
