Happy Hannukah! Merry Christmas! Festive Diwali! Good Kwanzaa, etc...



30 second "It's a Wonderful Life"

BIG NEWS -- no, not THAT kind -- is that I have a NEW job!

Finally! Whoo-hoo! I will be starting a new job at the Oregon Dept. of Justice in January. I'm thrilled! No more criminal clients (ask me about some of them)! No more commute to the 'Couv (aka Vantucky). Old firm took it well and I wish them the best--even had a criminal client wish me "congratulations."

I'll be in the Business Transactions Division, the Intellectual Property Section. Mostly my responsibilities will include drafting and negotiating state agency contracts. Also, the job is in Salem but I can catch a carpool.

J is planning on taking his oral comps in February and can then look for a teaching job. Coincidentally, there's an opening at Willamette, so we may be thinking about a move this spring. All very exciting!

It's also the final night of Hannukah so we've been busy lighting candles AND finalizing some Christmas gift-giving.


Um, I'm embarrassed for this guy! (OVER 18 ONLY)

Congrats on the new job! Although from a purely selfish point of view I think you and the Mister should be looking for jobs about 600 miles south of where you are.

I love the interfaith + cat holiday card you sent. It's awesome!!! It's hanging up on the wall next to the construction paper dreidel Yoshi made at preschool.

How exciting for you!! Congratulations! Have you started your new position yet? Let me know if and when you guys decide to relocate to Salem. It's a bit of a drive so I'm guessing it won't be too long...
