I know I’ve spoken to some of you about my dream to own a “single-wide” trailer of my own. I wanted to walk around in one of those cool, sleeveless undershirts (known, I’ve been told, as “wife beaters”). I began sampling cheap, disgusting beers like PBR. I had started looking at used pickup trucks that I could put up on blocks in the front yard, and started shopping for plastic flamingos to go by both the truck, and in the back yard next to the washer and dryer. Using old K-Mart sheets as curtains would have added a nice touch to the place. The only thing missing would have been a large, alcoholic wife, and I’m sure that I could have found one of those lounging around in the trailer park.
Sadly, it looks like my dream may be put on hold. Despite my best efforts, I have been offered a job at Dialog in Mountain View, California as a Software Quality Assurance Lead Engineer. I will be starting this new position on Monday, March 19th.
Maybe someday my dream will come true.
