George… employed

Congrats to George who, yes now has a job. His employer: Care Fusion. His job traveling medical software technician (or something along these lines). Perks: money, benefits, paid travel (possibly even Hawaii or Alaska). Horray, living in a van can pay off. Location: Mira Mesa (North part of the city) pretty close to La Jolla and UTC. Hired

EDIT:What could stand in George’s way now. Pee. Watery Pee. Being the clean boy George is, he went in for his piss test with no reservations. Everyone knew what the results would be. Alas though, the results too watery, to watered down. “You must come in today and take it again,” said Mr. Ramirez. An easy comply but what if George were to fail again. But he didn’t. So hiphiphoray George has peed an acceptable amount of whatever else is in pee.

How’d we end up in PB again?

Well I suppose it has been a few weeks since my previous post in the Las Vegas airport (aka my hotel for the night, grrr). I went home to Athens and spent a very nice 10 days there. Seeing friends, family and loved ones as well as being there for the religious union of Matt Handley and his wife Megan. Apparently they did the legal marriage thing like a month before but oh well. The wedding was a great time and Athens was very pleasent as to be expected. Congrats to Matt and Megan. Also, congrats to George’s friend Zuber and his wife. George coincidentally attended Zuber’s wedding the day after Matt’s and was gone about the same amount of time less his fun in Vegas. For those curious, the van rested at the Las Vegas airport long term parking.

Hotter temperatures and a trip to Oceanside to visit friends pulls the nomads away from inland and SDSU campus. New beach discovered - Ocean Beach - by us, other people already live here. Time closing in on what could be San Diego part one, or just another step in the leg of the nomad journey. Will come back and pull up the tent stakes in San Diego, or push north to the Bay Area or even Oregon.

A random drive yesterday after a very uncomfortable public library by our Balboa 24 Fitness found us near SDSU. We figured internet and places open late would be in this area. Its looking to prove to be pretty solid as we spend the day at the university library and George digs his head into the stacks. I’m finding myself productive being surrounded by similar aged people getting work done. The campus is very pretty and I just found that we have a 24 Hour Fitness and a Walmart extremely close by. Couple that with the very good wifi at the coffee house that is open until 2am that we patroned last night and it looks like we may have found a new home.

Sunny Networking

Well I just registered sunnynetworking.com. Soon it will be a bad ass website for our business that maybe will get us some side jobs. We pretty much plan to copy the business model of the Mobile Computer Wizard but hopefully improve upon it. This idea provides to positives. One if we have a business we may make money :) and two we get to put sweet magnets on our van with our company name / logo which makes us look even more incognito.
