Applying to the City of Sunnyvale (in this case the library, but it's all centralized on governmentjobs.com) is kind of wack and complicated, but at least it didn't involve writing a cover letter. I'm a little worried, though, that the "oral examination" (wtf? it's an interview, call it that) for "the most qualified candidates" isn't supposed to be for about a month, whereas if I Stanford decided they wanted to offer me a position, that would probably be a lot sooner than that. It's annoying because I think the Sunnyvale Public job is more suited for me (although I don't have any hint of what schedule they expect this person to keep). Ah well. We'll see.

In other news, I must hie me to the DMV next week to get a duplicate license (I hope I can get a duplicate; according to CSAA when I bought my auto insurance, the license number semeed to be still valid and active, and it doesn't expire until next summer) and figure out what all the mess is with registering my car and getting the title again. You are supposed to trade licenses within 10 days of establishing residency and one of the ways you can do that is to vote in a California election (oops!). But as far as I can tell they never knew I gave up the license in the first place, so maybe it won't be like that. As for my car, I have no idea what they think its current status is. If they think it's just PNO and is hunky-dory, I can pay the fee to register it, apply for duplicate title and that's that. If they cancelled it in some way based on my mailed "Statement of Facts" that I had registered it somewhere else, I may have to start all over again, which will almost surely mean smogging it (argh).

Hey, I just looked at that job posting while I was searching for landlord/tenant rules so that I can tell my landlord to stuff it. Good luck! Back in the area again, eh?

"Looked at" as in "was considering applying for", or just happened to come across while looking for something else entirely? (I had no idea you did library work?)

Yup, I've been back for a few weeks now.

Don't to library work, but was always interested in it. Just curious, mostly. I'm having to make a choice of new job rather soon, though, what with the baby and all. You still in contact with Winslow?

No, I lost touch with him years ago.

after driving on an Oregon license for 3 years, I moved back to California and went in to the DMV to get my license renewed.

"oh," said the person behind the counter, "i can't do this without some sort of proof of residence. you know, an electric bill or something".

we'd lived here all of 2 weeks, so I didn't *have* an electric bill or something.

by some quirk of fate, however, i still remembered my ancient original Cali license number that i was first issued in high school. you know, the one that had expired 3 years prior.

"oh," she said brightly. "in that case it's not a new license, it's a renewal."

wtf ever. it worked.

Yeah, I don't have any utility bills either (they are all in my parents' names, of course), although I do have bank and credit card statements. When I phoned up AAA for insurance they checked my driving record, of course, and as far as the agent could tell my license was still completely valid. It wasn't supposed to have expired anyway (2007) so I'm hoping I should just be able to get a duplicate, not even have to tangle with renewal.

Well, I see him regularly. You should visit the Den of Iniquity he inhabits. Yes, he moved out of his mom's house. Game?

I suppose I might be up for a short get together. Something with outside entertainment might be good tho, like the times we used to get together to watch Adult Swim. Otherwise could be kind of awkward, I think.
