I had a very productive and easy meeting with the state retraining program. I am now all set to start school in the summer, as long as I don't get a new job where I make more than 80% of what I was making at Laserwords. I'm still hoping to hear from Quad Graphics, and then I'll call up the TRA people can tell them I'm no longer qualified. But if that (or another job down the line) doesn't pan out, I can start this summer. I'll be done by the following spring too. The guy I worked with was very helpful and nice. And the best part is if I start the retraining and then I get a good job, I don't owe anyone any money. The goal is to get me hired again. And if I can do that without the degree, awesome. If I need the degree, then I keep studying.

I'm getting a little worried about the Quad job. I feel that if they liked me and wanted me, they'd have called by today. Unless they were still interviewing this week, then I can see them waiting until Thursday or Friday. I'm calling them on Friday if I haven't heard anything by then. Job hunting sucks.

InDesign User group meeting went well, I think. I won a seat in an all day InDesign seminar that is in Madison in April. It should be fun, and I might learn something.

I also talked with some of the instructors at the Madison Media Institute (where the meeting was), they showed some interest in having me teach there. Which would be cool. And one of the instructors was Josh, aka DJ White Rabbit, my favorite DJ from the Inferno. We chatted for a bit, he apparently was the one who started up the Web program there.

Good evening, for sure.
