Thanks! I am good but not a miracle worker! lol
:lol: One can only hope! You brought us all together. I have faith in you!
Let me join the array of plaudits. Terrific news for you. Sounds like it was a really tough recruitment process so an even more amazing achievement to come through that. Well done.
Yes, it took an entire month. Complete stressfest because my severance pay was almost gone and my company paid health insurance was set to expire at the end of the month. Would have had to start paying $1700 a month for that. I would have had to start raiding my retirement account for expenses. Absolute stressfest.

The last guy I interviewed with was employee number 5 in a company with 4k employees. He reported to the CEO. I got positive feedback after the first 8 and knew I HAD to nail that one to finish the deal. Most nervous and anxious I have ever been in my life but I nailed it. Most important intense hour of my life.

Thousand Oaks. One hour North of LA and about 25 minutes East of Malibu.

Thanks Brother! We will be driving to ST next March so that will save us 2k on airfare and rental car fees.
How long will your commute be?
I don't know yet but looks like there are plenty of places available in the area so not more than 10-15 minutes. Won't miss the Boston traffic either.
That sounds great, obviously that area generally is extremely crowded.

Looking forward to wide streets and less congestion. The roads were designed with horses and buggies in mind so they are very narrow and just a mess in terms of how they are designed. Takes like 25 minutes just to go 5 miles. Back home we were 5 minutes from everything. Here it takes 15 minutes just to get to the freeway...

Once he gets back to the west coast he's officially switching to the Pittsburgh Pirates like he threatened before.

I expect the prize money will be more in the $400-$500 dollar range now?

I hear the Boston Roads are based off of the trails animals used or some such.
