...

I got a call earlier today telling me that they gave the dream job to somebody else on Friday. Ok so, I keep looking. Then I got another call for an interview elsewhere. Ok. So, I keep looking ;)

And if you haven't run across this link yet: http://www.andrewolmsted.com/ you might want to check it out. It was written by a soldier/blogger before his death in Iraq. It is certainly enough to bring this military mom to tears... Major Andrew Olmsted, who posted a blog since May 2007, was killed in Iraq on Jan. 3, 2008. Olmsted, who had been based at Fort Carson in Colorado Springs, began blogging after his unit was sent to Iraq with the mission of helping train the Iraqi Army. A sniper killed Olmsted as he was trying to talk three suspected insurgents into surrendering. A sniper's bullet also cut down Capt. Thomas J. Casey. They were in Diyala province, northeast of Baghdad. Olmsted was determined to make a difference in Iraq. "The sooner the Iraqi government doesn't need U.S. support to provide security for its people, the sooner we will probably be asked to leave."

Later.
