Here's what's happening

It’s raining out today. Yuck! I suppose I should be happy though, because in Ohio, they have snow and ice. As much as I love our friends there, I DO NOT miss the cold! I know Derek doesn’t either. Overall, the weather here is good for me. I don’t really mind the rain and it’s not like it rains every day. Sometimes, I even like tha rain though that is generally when I don’t have to go out in it.

Derek got the hot tub working over the weekend and I think I could get used to that kind of luxury. I imagine I will not enjoy the electric bill if it is like the Christmas lights, but other than that, I am happy. In fact, overall, my only real issue with this assignment is the drive to and from work. That is not fun! It takes a lot of time away from the family which is really my biggest issue. Well, that and the cost of gas, but I don’t see that getting any better any time soon. ; )

Derek did not get the Information Technology Manager job we were hoping he would get, but he has another job interview tomorrow. The other job was filled by someone that the company’s contractor recommended. In fact, the person recommended was trained by the company’s contractor and that person will now be managing the work done by the contractor. In the government that would be a conflict of interest, but I guess the civilian sector can do what they want. As mean as it is, I hope they realize they messed up and call Derek back (soon), but I doubt that will happen. Anyways, the job interview tomorrow has Derek (us) a little worried. It’s a help desk job and they could require him to work some odd hours.
