I haven't been able to find any jobs in my technical field in the Pacific Northwest but have applied for four this morning - one local and three within an hour's drive of my mom's house. Work would give me some chance to get back on my feet, even if it's not where we want to end up.
best of luck Treppa

Yesterday was a weird coincidence, but I've been trying to follow the thread even if I don't post. Sometimes I look at "1,500 new" and decide I can wait a little longer. :)
Suuuuure! You can't fool me! You probably got PMG to set you up with the same kick-ass notification system the Paizo people use.

That's "inner circle"-level stuff that I'm not privy to yet. :P

I like the clarifying "yet".

I've missed being around. I've had a rough winter, health-wise...
Of course you do. ;) And it sounds like I got back to resume my Haterade(TM) spokesmodel position just in time, since you seem to be in the midst of a cold/laryngitis at the moment. My sense of timing is impeccable.

*hugs* & Lots of fortune, you are too amazing a person to need much luck. However, all my best wishes are with you.

On the down side, I expect to receive my notification for furlough pretty soon. I've already heard of some people getting theirs. One day a week for 22 weeks. Luckily, as I've said before, the wife and I make enough to have saved a good bit. So it'll be a bit of a nuisance, but not much else - as long as certain people get their heaDs out of their asses.
Oh, my sympathies.

checks the hot tub for temperature and operational readiness, then settles in for a nice, long soak
What a lovely day it's turning out to be!
I'm cancer free, and my physical therapist said in my assessment this morning that my range of motion and strength are almost back to normal.
I'm leveling up my paladin to 21st level today, and tomorrow night is Pathfinder gaming.
And finally, it's only 15 days 'til Opening Day Baseball!
I hope the rest of you are having a wonderful Friday too!

Thank you. I've been very, very lucky. (I mean, getting a cancer diagnosis sucks, but compared to how bad this COULD have been, I'm fortunate beyond belief that the treatment and recovery has been as relatively simple as it has.)

Is it crazy for me to consider multi-classing Paladin 20/Cavalier 1 at this stage in my character's career? (Here's what her 20th level character sheet looks like.)
My DM is giving us guidelines for continuing in our base classes, or we can multi-class or take a prestige class. Cavalier appeals to me mostly because it plays to my character's strengths already, and adds a teamwork component that I think would work well with our party's ranger. But I'm not sure it's worth it compared to the advancement of level-dependent paladin abilities I'd get if I took a 21st level of paladin.

Thanks, Aeglos!
Great news. :D
Yes, it is. And thank you. :)

That is all good news, Lindisty!
In other good news, my bonus is going to be double what I was expecting. That means I can make that trip to visit my mother AND put tires on my car. Huzzah!
Well this day just keeps getting better. I got a voicemail from the company I interviewed for and they are making an offer.
The offer is about $5k less than I was shooting for, so I may have to bone up on salary negotiation techniques, but in any event... awesome!

Excellent! Congratulations, and I hope the salary negotiations go well!

I think if you're going past 20, there's never a better time to multiclass, especially with the availability of capstones prior. Sure your Paladin stuff that's level based will keep getting better, but you won't ever get any new tricks =)
That's my internal conflict. New shinies vs building on the foundation I've already got. :)
Oh well... I've leveled up her character sheet both ways, and will decide tomorrow which I want to use.

*hugs* So glad to hear treatment is going well. Now be sure to take good care of yourself! It's wonderful how far cancer treatment has come since my grandmother went through it once in the 50's and once in the 70's. Still, it is nothing to sneeze at and I am elated to hear things are going well for you. Fight on!
