The Mandelbear's Musings

A pretty good day. Liz came over to help Colleen with the sewing room, and Belen came over and took away several boxes of culled fabric. I polished up my resume/profile text, redid my personal business card, and got a callback from the outplacement firm my former employer set me up with. I'll start the Monday after next.

I also took a walk, though much shorter than I'd planned. I stopped to help a young woman (teens or 20s; hard to tell) who'd gotten the belt of her sweater wrapped around the rear sprockets of her bike. It was complicated by the fact that the bike had coaster brakes, so we couldn't just back it out. It required bending over, so I was sore enough by the time I finished that I didn't want to risk a full 2-3 miles. Good anyway.

Cool stuff via N: The 'I Don't Pay' Movement - a successor to Occupy? Started in Greece, but seems to be spreading to other places in Europe. We may be seeing the start of a revolution.

Oh, and Finally, Android breaks 50%. Pretty good day.

I am going to be in Seattle from Thursday, 4/5 through Wednesday, 4/11. I'll be arriving at my hotel, the Coast Gateway sometime after 9pm Thursday, and leaving on the 7:30pm flight Wednesday.

Friday through Sunday I'll be at Norwescon, but since I'm not scheduled for anything I'll be available for conversations or phone interviews on a few minutes' notice.

Monday noonish through Wednesday afternoon I'll be looking at apartments and, and hopefully, going to job interviews. You can get to all my relevant information, including my resume, at stephen.savitzky.net.

I'll be going up again in early July for Westercon; I'll take a trip up before that if there are interviews to be had.

We expect to be moving up permanently sometime between July and September, most likely sometime in August.
