First Regulars will know of my employment woes. I was under the impression this week would not be a good one because a)my Dad had to have surgery on his left eye (for an inherited condition which I may have, JOY!  ) b)had not one but Two interviews face to face, the first was for an ideal post in the middle of nowhere, the second was for a lecture, teaching post (Found that I am not a natural teacher!). c) Had a telephone interview with a company that bought out a company that I have done some work for with my previous employer. Have to go to the JOBCenter+ (or -) on Tuesday,  On the up side my Dad can now see a little bit clearer now.

It feels a bit weird, voting up a posting like that (showing a preference for human misery?), but it's the only way we can show support.

Well that the main thing! he can see clearer now, it should get better??

Depends on what he had done, but generally yes - it takes a few days for the eye to settle down first.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Well It's wet-AMD so the treatment appears to be three shots to the eye, seems like first one has cleared the 'black smut' he was complaining of fingers crossed.

Last time I went in the UK it was fairly warmer and sunnier than northern Italy  Good point though!

In Phoenix? Bah! 
Edit: Wrote that before looking out the window. Very overcast. And I left my car windows open, definitely tempting fate.

I had a crap week too. But I live directly across the street from a church. Seems like every time I have a bad week that church has a funeral service that parades right in front of me. It reminds me that there is always someone having a worse day. And I can probably deal with what I got.

So cheer up. Maybe next week will be better.

I'm confused... Your Dad's inherited eye problem is obviously bad but the job interviews are good... right?

Yes that's what I thought, but one interview was good, just in the wrong place, the second was AWFUL, A group of Apprentices who had done 1 hour of Electronics, I was stood the ready to Kichoffs (volts & currents) got so far when I was told they are doing Diodes & Transistors (after 1 hour??) so not holding out great hope for that one...also the phone interview I had I have been told I was not successful is needed

Come to the US (Illinois specifically - 50 miles south of Chicago) - I'm looking for an EE with programming skills.

I would dearly love to, but the immigration policy is mad. A friend of mine was married to a US citizen, worked for a US company still couldn't get a green card  plus I think that commute might kill me!

Glad to hear your Dad is better.

There's a fine line between crazy and free spirited and it's usually a prescription.
I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too but the possibilities are endless.
