Oh my! I posted here last Friday, and forgot to check up after the weekend, so I didn’t see your response, **Atreyu**. You too, **Bumbazine**? Dang, that sucks. Hell yeah, I’m in! When shall it be? ---

Like **Bumbazine** , any get-together will have to be after the week of Memorial Day for me. To update my situation… Earlier in the thread I stated that I was going to be more aggressive following up on the applications and resumes that I’ve sent out. So far the new strategy has already yielded one result. A hospital in Coon Rapids, Minnesota called me back…I had a preliminary interview with the audiologist there, and they’re definitely looking for someone with a strong pediatric background. Fortunately, pediatric audiology is my primary area of interest. I was told towards the end of the phone conversation that she will _definitely_ be contacting my references, and will let me know later if they want me to fly out there for an in-person interview. ---

Coon Rapids, huh? You should drop me an email when you move here. 🙂 ---

I have nothing really useful to add, being another Portland unemployee. But I wanted to say hi anyhow. And say ‘yeah i sucks’. And mention that I like drinking too. I can help drown **atryeu’s** sorrows. I’m game for a puddledope!! -sic ---

Holy shit, **smashie**! You too? What is it with all the Portland Dopers losing their jobs? Maybe I should be worried… But then, I wouldn’t mind too much if they laid me off here. The only reason I’m still here is that it’s so damn easy that I get to sit around and play on the SDMB all day. Oh well… So who’s gonna organize this thing? “Not it!” ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Smashed Ice Cream \* > \*\*ohmygod. > > IT sucks. IT. not I. \*\* Hey, calm down. IT does not suck. I’ve been working in Information Technology for 15 years and its does not suck. And with that said, I walk off, to the confusion of the people who think I’m being serious. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Ferrous \* > \*\*Holy shit, **smashie**! You too? What is it with all the Portland Dopers losing their jobs? Maybe I should be worried… > \*\* Yeah, me too. I actually hold the dubious honor of being laid off twofold - I got laid off by OHSU last year, but I’m still under IP, so I took the bartending gig until I could go back to work (this fall, but that’s ionly IF i find a job) - and I get laid off from A BARTENDING job ferchrissakes. ahwell. So, \*\* Atreyu \*\*, after Mem day, should we all try a portland dope? I noticed a few new PDXers around. - what do you think? Ferrous? Et al? -sic ---
