Yeah, I know. I'm on a bit of a "I finally accomplished this goal I
set for myself and I'm hopeful that I will get to do more cool stuff
now" high right now, so I'm seeing most things with "me" tunnel
vision. I'll calm down after the holidays.

I hear you. I'd be covered in that area, although I guess the real
test will be to actually do it for a while.

Travel > relocating in my book. Although I just found an
interesting job listing in Nashville (my family) this weekend.

I think .jobhunting (Jasper's suggestion) works better. We should
petition Todd for it. Might even be a good place to have Lego
Direct post it's jobs - although jobs for Lego would hardly be
"off-topic" on LUGNET. :)

You seem to be doing just fine. I am almost ashamed to admit my job
hunting skills are almost none-existant, but that's going to change.
As of now I have gone from various food then tech jobs as a teen, to
the Army, to the VA, to UTK (for school and part-time work), to UT
(full-time). So my private sector job experience, other than fairly
recent consulting jobs, is far back in the past...
