Figures!

Half a year ago, we moved to Seattle, reasoning that there weren't any high tech jobs to speak of in Skagit County and that i'd continue the five-year plus skein of 60+ mile each way commutes.

In yesterday's paper there was an advertisement for a company in Mt. Vernon (right in the heart of tuliptown) looking for PHP/Perl scripters and experienced software testers. Looking at the company's website, they do ladder ranking for various online games.

Figuring that since i have to apply for positions anyway and no one else is really beating down the door, i'd send them a resume and cover letter, expecting nothing really to come of it. Within hours of sending it, i got back a request for a phone interview.

Oh, the irony of it all....

Possibly. We'll see what the job looks like and how much they can afford to pay.

Hey, regardless of where the job is at it still sounds like a pretty good deal, all things considered. I hope it works out for you.

Gracias. May your luck improve as well, and without you having to go to Chicago in order for it to happen.

I read both Perl and PHP. I'm an experienced tester, though.
