[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A while ago, when things were going [b]porely[/b] at my current job (not enough hours, etc.), [b]An[/b] [b]opertunity[/b] came [b]from the blue[/b]..A SETA contract was being recompeted.  My company was not bidding on the SETA program.  The companies looking to unseat the incumbant wanted to use my resume; I allowed both to do so (with contingent offers); in addition, one company paid me to help on the proposal.   The contract was originally awarded [b]to in the[/b] incumbant, but the award was challenged.  The challenge was [b]upheald[/b], and now the incumbant is disqualified.

Since there were three companies bidding, and only two remain (the two that used my resume), I expect to get an offer soon.  Financially, it will be a huge boon for us -- we live in a tear town house we bought in the 90's, and have 500K of equity.  Selling the house will allow me to pay off every debt, and have money put aside for my daughter's college.  The work is right up my [b]ally[/b], should be interesting, and I know the customer quite well.

On the down side, the schools are nowhere near as good.  And the state has a history of underfunding education.  In addition, my unstable job is not stable.  But, the thought of no more winters on my scar ridden body is intriguing.

Jesus, this was painful to read.  I can only imagine what kind of company finds you desirable with a complete lack of understanding of basic grammar and spelling.[/quote]

If this wasn't an anonymous board and I had the ability to know who you and OP really are, I would hire OP in an instant over you. There was no need for this. If you're a decent person, you'll feel some shame and apologize.[/quote]

op here.  This is OT, but I am dyslexic.  I could re-read this 100 times and miss the errors.  I am also quite good at what I do, one of the top people in the world.  Unlike many people, I know my weakness and make sure everything I write is proofread by someone when in a professional context.  You can chose not to hire me;  frankly, I would not want to work for someone with such a big stick up their rear.[/quote]
