Whoa man did the Journal ever touch off a firestorm; I scouted around for prefabricated houses yesterday and was pre-stonished at what I found. This stuff is fantastic. From FlatPak IKEA-style panels that you buy and erect on your foundation to boxy vacation homes, these are legitimate, crazy cool dwellings. Check out fabprefab for more information and some tours of the future.
The present has been crowded with OMS case work. I got to Ross at 9 this morning and have worked, continuously, on this case until about 3:15. So much for this particular sunny Friday. Tonight I'm hoping to take care of some other intra-curriculars before setting back into the OMS groove later in the weekend with some homework for Tuesday. There's a case to prep for accounting and MTrek stuff to do, plus law homework and TMI ice skating. Busy times.
I'm beginning to feel like I'm in career free fall. So far no closed-lists, which is a problem because really all but three projects that I'm interested in are out already. Bidding starts tomorrow - not that I'll actually bid before Monday or Tuesday - and with no freebies (closed lists don't count towards bid points) lined up I am going to have to revisit my strategy. For the first time since I quit my job I'm realizing that a return to stable income is something more than a formality. As with so many things, the waiting is the hardest part. Summer work is guaranteed, but I don't want to be subject to the whimsy of my peers and I don't want to wait for five more weeks to find out what I'll be up to this summer.
