Alan got the local position he interviewed for...HOORAY! It is about $12k a year less than what he made before, but it is still a hell of a lot more money than $0!
Alan and his former co-worker are still wanting to start their own company. They placed a bid on a design and build job with a company that likes them and wants them to do it, but has a slow process of giving the green light. Both Alan and Bob have had to take positions with other companies in the meanwhile for income.
The other company said it may be as late as April before they give the green light to them for the project. In the meantime, Alan will give his all to this new position and maybe solicit some smaller designing projects. Since this new company low-balled him salary wise, it won't be as hard to leave once the green light happens for this project.
The best news of all: we don't have to leave Florida!!! With all of Alan's interviews thus far being in colder places like Virginia, Montana and Iowa, this is most welcome! The weather is not the only reason we want to stay. We have several others: we have property in the country near his parents where we want to build a house; his parents are getting on in years (although they are both in good health right now, that could change); and we have lots of friends here. We have our roots TOGETHER here.
In all the excitement I forgot to mention: the scale showed me at 320 today!
