All, This is completely off-topic, but I'm in a pretty bad spot so I beg forgiveness ahead of time. We just got a letter from our landlord saying we have to move out by August so the owner of the house can move in. So we have to move. We cannot afford to live in the Seattle area anymore under these circumstances, so we have to move somewhere else completely. When the insurance settlement comes through for my wife's recent car accident, we should have the money to move then. (It's been a rough month, obviously) So, what I'm asking for, then, is work. Any kind of work. Something so that when we blow our wad of cash moving (probably cross-country) we'll be able to have a dwelling and food. It doesn't have to be a job, specifically, just 3-4 months worth of work to get us through a rough spot. Obviously, if there isn't more work for me after that, we'll be in another rough spot, but at least we'll have a home again, wherever we land. Does anybody have, or know of, any work at all that you might be able to throw my way? I have a wide range of skills, and some of you that have seen me on the lists for awhile are pretty acquainted with at least some of them. For computers, I'm specialized in web development, marketing specifically, although I'm not that bad of a php developer. Like most of you, I have a list of programming languages long enough that I don't always remember which ones go on the list and as such am capable of quickly learning just about any language out there (except for the really psychotic ones like scheme). I'm also an automechanic and a cook. I can administer Mandrake Linux very well, and can easily pick up probably any other flavor of Linux. I can also administer Windows 2000 halfway decent (probably better than an MCSE, but that's not saying much). Tech support, you know, those hand-holding jobs, I can do. Anything at all. Guitar, anyone? ;) Any help here would be greatly appreciated. For location we're looking to move back to Texas, simply because we already have family there that may or may not be able to help at least a little bit with the dwelling/food issue, but unfortunately none of them can help with the work problem. If any work can pay for relocating, or help a bit, then we can probably relocate anywhere. Naturally the best work for me to have in this situation is work that I can telecommute. Location isn't set in stone, though, and depends entirely on the work that is available. (And to answer the unasked question, no, this isn't the only place I'm going to be looking for work ;) ) Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give, and apologies for bothering the rest of you with this.
