Well, down in Arizona, they said they'd like to have me on but here is not enough money to pay me. Why this couldn't have been brought to my attention before I flew in all the way from Alaska, is beyond me. The owner even had the audacity to say "I need a year commitment from you, but I can't afford to pay you for a few weeks" WHAT? So, anyway, its back to Colorado for a while. In other news, Raytheon, who told me my job in Antarctica was lost to budget cuts has called to say my contract is still on. I'll believe it when I have a ticket in hand. While spending the winter in colorado would be fine, I won't pass up the chance to spend some more time on the beach in McMurdo sound.
