Late nights and busy days on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday meant that Monday&#8217;s non-schedule would be a nice change.<\/p>\n<p>But, it was not to be! I have been talking with a company in Pocatello about the possibility of doing some contract programming work for them. I had another interview with them on Friday, the 30th and they asked me to build a demonstration site to show what I could do for them. They gave me a small specification and wanted it to be done by the end of the business day on Monday. I didn&#8217;t have time to do any work on it until Monday &#8230; but it came together quite nicely and I turned it over to them for their review well before the end of the day. Hopefully something will come from it!<\/p>\n<p>TTFN!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nina came into the computer room and handed me the &#8220;missing&#8221; ribbon bar from my time in the Air Force.
