Change - update

The contract under which I have worked for over three years expires in 14 days. I should appreciate prayers as I join so many of my friends seeking employment. Mercifully I have no dependents, no rent or mortgage, and Social Security kicks in three months from now. Still...

Ongoing prayers for the friends and strangers who have been seeking work for a long time now.

Update:
The new company that won the contract may well hire us and they would be foolish not to. I submitted my resume and request to be considered.

It's been a month

Since I started working here in New Orleans. Hard to believe. Time does pass quickly when one is busy. Today we marked the anniversary (well, coincidentally) by moving from one building to another. By 3 p.m. we had packed up all our office goods and chattels and headed over to the new building (new to us, anyway). I was among the minority that stuck around until the tech squad and movers arrived with our computers and supplies and papers. We unloaded, connected, fired up, tested, etc. When I knew my computer was working, I could log into the applications, was connected to the shared drive, and could print, I finally left. At that point it had become another 11-hour day.

Now, to celebrate getting through the first month, we have enough desk space to actually do our jobs. I can move my mouse freely, spread out and store my paperwork as needed, and not be cramped with someone next to me and squeezing in so people can pass behind me on their way to and from the printer. Yay!

And this is one angle of the view from my window. Non c'è malo, eh?

This photo also signals that I finally acquired the appropriate device to download photos from my camera, so I don't have to wait a few weeks to share. Woohoo! More photos to come.

Celebrating with a Cuba libre. Ahh.
