Okay, this just in... I
had to turn down a great job that they offered me over the phone. Technically they didn't really offer the job to me yet... but they made it clear that they wanted me to come to training Monday through Thursday. On Thursday -she said I would be placed.
This job was offered through the largest
new Toyota dealership in my state. The reason I turned it down? -It's an hour and a half from where I live. I'm going to continue to call my contacts there, however and keep it as an option.
On the Ebay front -I've managed to list some of my stuff on Ebay. I used to have a lot of "disposable" income and have collected a bunch of treasures that I am now parting with. (As a side note -never try to sell chess books on Ebay -it just doesn't work.) If anyone is curious what I'm selling you can view it here:

Thanks everyone for your encouragement and support.
