I rejoined Corpgoth on Yahoogroups and posted a general question about the livability of Houston and got some immediate responses. It doesn't seem like such a bad place at all. The clubs are air conditioned and they have an underground tunnel system downtown so you can stay out of the heat. From the salary survey information I could find I am worth about $85 - $90K there. No state taxes, low income tax. At this point it is just a question of what kind of offer I will get. And of course I don't have the luxury of being quite as choosy now, thanks to the dot.bomb and the plummeting market.

I woke up feeling very, well, leonine this morning. As I was falling asleep I dreamt about living back on Vancouver Island. As dreams tend to be things were a little misplaced - bits of Victoria and Duncan were mixed up. In part of the dream I was living with Ivana in the house I grew up in. That was very pleasant :-)

Well, so endeth the day. Some corporate headhunters saw my résumé on Monster.ca and I have an interview with them tomorrow. Fingers are crossed, but the unfortunate truth is I may have already applied directly with the people they want to place me with. That would suck. Perhaps a strategic omission of information might improve my chances with the job I most want. But then again I don't want anything coming back and biting me in the ass, either.
Why didn't I just open a coffee shop?
