Back in San Francisco

Hi All,
Last post was from New Zealand on our last day. Since we left there's been tears, hugs, parents, siblings, old friends, burritos, job interviews and apartment viewings.

I spent a week visiting my family in AZ. That was a great time to catch up and settle down to some hard core resume updating and job hunting. Also did some star gazing, geocaching, hot tubing and guitar heroing.

Re-integration
So Gay and I are back in SF trying to make our way. For the most part we're getting on well, but once in awhile we ask ourselves "why again did we come back?" We've gone through some cultre shock (nothing akin to China) and we somehow can't escape the cold. Also the fact that we still haven't found an apartment compunds the frustration even more. So anyway I've been interviewing quite a bit. A lot of phone interviews and yesterday I went down to Mountain View for a 5 hour interview which was a marathon for me. But I got a free lunch and latte out of it so even if I don't get the job at least I ate well. Luckily for me there are a lot of jobs in the area and I think it's just going to take some time for me to find the right one.

I'll keep you updated with how evertyhing is going but for right now we spend our days either looking for an apartment on craigslist or going to view apartments. I'm usually on the phone with potential employers or recruiters or going to interviews.
As for Gay she's been accepted to Bauman college's Nutritional Educators program and she's excited to get that process going.

More to come and wish us luck...
Jon
