Rod Good Luck with the interview. Negotiate moving costs if hired; offer at taking less pay (1-2 bucks an hour) as another tool to pay the move. I have moved numerous times and this was one of my negioating measures. It costs around 20 K for the average move; unless you do all of it by yourself (I am too old and spoiled for that) Recently, I just returned from S. Korea and although the Army paid; it still cost me over 2 grand (new license, insurance, registration, hotels, food and most important - my fishing license. Great fishing in that area!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jim Deserttrout06

First of all I'd like to apologize to everyone for posting this to the group, but I don't see anyway around it... I know this post ISN'T actually "fishing related", but then again it is, because I was really looking forward to joining Jimi, Mark, Tony and others, fishing the White for a full week of relaxation and spending some quality time with a bunch of great friends... Here's my dilemma... I've been looking around, sending resumes, to various companies, throughout the western states for employment and got a phone call yesterday from *"AMR"* in Colorado Springs, Colorado... They want me there next Thursday, the 15th, for an interview, testing and possible employment... They are very impressed with my application and resume... It would mean an increase of twice the amount of money I'm making now, over $20 an hour, plus full benefits, (I get absolutely NO benefits with the company I'm with right now)... The gentleman I spoke with, told me that once I'm hired, I have to go through an "academy" which trains you to their protocols, etc... Anyway, this "academy" won't start till April 9th which means I have to move to Colorado Springs prior to that date... Soooooo, with the cost of moving expenses, etc., my finances at this time probably won't allow me to attend the Sowbug and have enough money to move up there, find an apartment, etc.... Soooo... At this point, I'm not really sure I'm going to be able to attend the Sowbug... They will let me know immediately next Thursday if I'm hired or not... As soon as I know, I will let everyone know one way or the other... Thanks everyone for putting up with me... Rodney... NREMT - Paramedic Life is too short, go fishing...
