Under Construction

I have posted some photos over on Flickr of Michelle's team. They have finished their tournament and are now officially tourists. They are having a great time according to our embedded reporter (Thanks to Bob for the photos and reports back from the tour).

I have received more calls over the past several weeks from 'placement firms' then I have received in the past five years. Several agencies are looking to place me and several are looking to place individuals where I am employed.

Now - I am not looking to switch employers and I do not have hiring authority with my employer. These are not fruitful conversations for anyone involved. It took me a little while to figure out what was going on.

I envy Michelle being able to visit Old Trafford (Manchester United's stadium map). This is a photo from her first day after landing. Flickr has another couple of pictures. I have also attached the better pictures directly to this post.

Also, the team is playing in a tournament while they are over there. Hopefully they can be competitive. The tournament is publishing game (fixture) results. You'll need to go to the Umbro Kits Trophy Group 1 to see the team's bracket.

This will probably appeal to no one else but I could not stop laughing:

Michelle returned from her French class trip to France (and England) this past week. Her flight from France was 40 minutes ahead of schedule arriving in to Newark, NJ. Unfortunately, the plane for her flight from Newark to Dayton could not leave until 2:00 AM on Thursday morning. I picked her up shortly before 4:00 in the morning. (I wasn't much use the next day).
In any event, she appears to have had a good trip. She's posted some pictures over on her Photobucket site.
