jsbowden:
1. Is your current job using your degree?
No, not really.
2. If not, since you're in Texas, why aren't using that MS in Chem. to work for an oil company. Evil pays well, trust me, I work for a defense contractor.
Nobody in my area is hiring, apparantly.
3. What are you long term employment goals (you might notice a theme, but I know last time you commented on it, you weren't happy in your current job)?
If I had my 'druthers, I'd be working in some sort of biochemistry or chemistry research lab. Realistically, short term, I'm just trying to get back on my feet. I just moved to be closer to where I work and hopefully that will give me more time to actively look for a new job, but first I need to recoup some of the money I spent in the move. Give me another month or so and I will be actively returning to the job search.
Oh, and my resume on Monster is current.
4. Do you have any intention of reading Knife of Dreams when Slacker finally finishes churning it out?
Reading, yes. Buying, no.
5. Do you want to stay in Texas? If not, where would you like to live ideally?
Texas is okay, but I would rather not live in NE Texas simply because of the lack of jobs in what I want to do. Where I would like to live is somewhere where I can find a job doing what I want to do. If I were fantastically rich, I'd travel, so you see there isn't really one place that I'd like to be. I'd just like to be somewhere else than I am.

Re: interview me...
2) If, given the chance, you could change one negative event in your past, would you, considering that from some negatives arise great positives? Or would you take the risk of eliminating the great positive because there might be an even greater positive along the alternate path?
3) Would you describe yourself as a risk taker in general? What kind of circumstances would make you take great risks?
4) Do you have a price? Is there something that someone could offer you that would make you consider doing something that you otherwise would consider totally against your morals and ethics?
5) How much of our lives do you believe is controlled by our own free will? How much of it is predestination/Fate/Kismet? How much is blind chance?
(I know these are pretty heavy-handed questions, but I think you can handle them. *grin* Moreover, I would honestly be interested in your take on some of these things I've been considering for a while. Apologies if you think that they are too much and of course you don't ever have to answer.)
