On the house front…<\/strong> My next door neighbors who are selling their house “by owner” are undercutting the rest of us on price. Their house is priced at 152,900… a full 10,000 less than mine and up to 12,000 less than some other houses…<\/p>\n

“What is wrong with their house,” you might be asking… well, by the stats, it has far more upgrades than mine. (Theirs is a two bedroom, whereas mine is a 3 bedroom.) My real estate agent doesn’t seem to think it’s a big deal, but in his words, “it won’t help.”<\/p>\n

“What does theirs have that yours doesn’t?” Well, I am glad you asked…but why would I tell you. It might make you more interested in it than in mine. The sooner theirs sells, the better it is for the rest of us. You wouldn’t want to be my neighbor, anyway. I bet my neighbors are glad I am moving… well, I am glad I am moving, too.<\/p>\n

On the job hunt…<\/strong> I have received word from one of the prospective employers that my resume is “under review” for one of the positions that I applied for from them. And I have submitted a proposal to my current employer for remote working. And I have that job at DirecTV that I can get. So, perhaps, everything will be just fine.<\/p>\n

But for right now…<\/strong> I am watching “Dirty Jobs<\/strong>” on Discovery. Mike Rowe is so damn funny, it hurts. If only I were as funny as him. We share the same first name and he’s on my MySpace friends list!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
