Thanks all!
It's still not finalized, as I have a manager I need to talk to who was in a meeting at the time- but it sure looks to be a go. I'll finally be doing actual honest-to-god machine design, with bearings and cogs and all that stuff that I've wanted to do since I was a kid! And the guy I will be working with is a goofy hands-on sort like me, married to an artist, a DIY enthusiast with a huge woodworking shop who also likes to work on cars- in other words, we got along famously.

And yes, if I get the job I'll still be posting here- maybe not as often as I have been, but I'll be around!

Oh, and the other bit of woo for the day: my girlfriend's brother the artist has managed to purchase an old run-down shack that I found for him for his next installation. Keep an eye on this space for news and photos- he's very psyched up for it! He guesses he'll be here in April to take the building apart, so at that time I may sprinkle a few cool photos around...

This is the best day I've had in weeks!
