Message: <blockquote data-quote="haiiro" data-source="post: 1695296" data-attributes="member: 1891">Again, thanks to everyone for the welcome -- I got in Thursday night, and had a whirlwind day of meetings today. The long and the short of it is that I got the job, as you can see from my profile. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />When I watched the valley unfold as my plane came in over the city, I knew that this was someplace I was going to want to live: the mountains are never going to get old. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />I'm storing away all of your recommendations for gaming/comics stores, and they're very much appreciated. I'll probably try and visit Hastur Hobbies before I fly back to Michigan, and the rest may have to wait until I'm back for good.As for some specific replies:Psion - I don't think RPS has engineering positions, at least none that I've run across (we'd contract out for that). As for the real estate, your father in law's properties are way out of my league. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />FoxWander & Davelozzi - I've been considering dumping the landline for awhile, so hearing that Qwest might be worth avoiding will likely help me make up my mind. Are they as evil as SBC/Ameritech?Dark Jezter - It's been awhile, but I do enjoy hiking and camping, as well as mountain biking. I'm hoping living here will get me off my keister and back into some of that. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />KingCroMag - Thanks for the apartment recs! I've been looking at places today, and there have been a few standouts. I'm bowled over by how much housing is available -- I felt like I was tripping over apartment complexes in some areas.</blockquote>
