Correct. It's a job at the city doing IT. I wrote down some key points.... supposed to keep it between 3 and 5 minutes. Wish me luck!

Well ****. The state just called me. Offered me 26.58 to start. Had to pass.

Hopefully the city is better.

Three interviews in one day.... last one sounds damn promising. Problem is, the shift is 3pm to 11:30pm, but I can look past that. They told me my salary wishes would work.

This one is actually a production manager position. It's in my blood.

Stay private. Government jobs suck, even when they seem like they don't.

But they probably also suck to work for and force you into a union to siphon off a chunk of your pay.

Just be careful and sure you've evaluated the whole package. If it works out for you, then go with God.

Well I did something stupid, on purpose. 1st a little background. My little rocket Fiesta ST got rear ended back on June 20th. Due to supply chain issues, parts shartages, whatever, my car is still in the shop. I called and spoke to the manager who informed me they are waiting on critical parts that have no ETA. He said, "I don't want to scare you but, I have a truck here that has been waiting on parts for 7 months". Well that got me motivated. I sold my Honda VTX 1800F for $500 more than I paid for it a year and a half ago. After searching everywhere for a decent Mustang and driving some **** that was supposedly in "Excellent Condition'. I found a poorly photographed ad for a white 2007 Mustang GT/CS convertible for far less than market value around here. I realize it is near end of season for verts, at least up here in the Seattle area, but I grabbed up my cash and took it home last night. Finally after 30 years of wanting but never quite getting a V8 Mustang I finally have one. The previous owner put some stupid stickers on it that I'll be taking off when I get home tonight, and it needs a good clean from top to bottom but I love it. It's got an Airaid CAI and a Bama tune but otherwise stock. The only downfall is it's an automatic. I hate automatics but everything else just fell into place so I can overlook this deficit.

With all that said, I know there are a few Mustang guys around here. So my question is, with all the sites and forums out there, where do you hang out when not here? It seems some are abandoned or have poor attendance. I don't want to waste weeks tracking down the good places. Oh but I did find AKDoggie on one of them, damn I should have made note of what forum that was.

I liked mustang6g.com. I assume they have 5g, 4g, etc.

I probably could have fought it and got it to work, but nothing of the kind is remotely acceptable in something as critical as a file backup!

PS - I did not lose any files - they were all moved to a folder called "Windows.old" as a part of the reinstall.
Same ol' same ol' with Windows in that respect, something gets wonky.

Guess I'll keep with Acronis....until it doesn't work. It's been good the last decade or so.
