Still between jobs

mnemeI've been getting some feelers and at least one interview opportunity which seemed to vanish re-appeared, but I'm also widening my net -- it's so easy to try to use only the job sites and particularly LinkedIn, but in fact so many companies only post their jobs on their internal web site so if there are placed you'd love to work I guess it's best to look directly there to see if they have openings.
In other news, the larp (re-run for the first time in 15 years ago! Written 17 years ago! Yeah, there's a lot to unpack here) is coming together; we'll send out the casting hints tomorrow (HOPING) and then do some edits on the character sheets for the next two weeks before things get busy again (with Dreamation and then Intercon in quick succession!).
We went out to NOLA two weeks ago for a friends thing (and to see Chwebaccus) and then our plane got delayed for four days (it was originally going to come back on Sunday). So, we HAD to spend the week in NOLA (oh, no!) for an extra four days, finishing out the week; I can't really complain; it gave us some time to reflect and in which we couldn't keep our existing patterns (and also some extra days to enjoy NOLA nightlife, including a Fusion Dance thing that was apparently their revival of the local scene; I mostly danced withdrcpunk but did also get dances with around 4 other dancers which was nice. The venue was in the back of a clothing shop, which gave nice speakeasy vibes (although since it didn't occur to me to buy soda from the store, I got rather parched and we headed out after 2ish hours when the band finished their set).
Before that, we did Arisia, which was small (for an Arisia, anyway) but rather pleasant.
I've also gotten back into reading Wyrm (which I had previously paused after reading chapter 21). I have to prioritize working on the larp, but it's pretty nice.
