interviewing, school and stuffing

I am coming to the end of my six month school program. It has been a busy time especially with only one three weeks to go in the quarter. My wife and daughter have been so supportive during this time of me not having a job.
Since school is ending soon I decided it was time to really look for a job and I had an interview last week before thanksgiving. The interview lasted three hours with four different people, questions covered all aspects of my career and technical areas. The technical questions were the toughest, one interviewer asked me good written questions that I was able answer. Another interviewer asked some obscure Unix questions and he was not clear with them so I had a tougher time answering his questions. The difference between him and the previous guy is that the first guy had all of his questions on paper whereas the last guy was asking on the fly.
It was a good experience and the guys all seemed nice, I should hear something in the next two weeks.
Thanksgiving was a fun day, I finally got to eat my favorite part of the meal, fresh turkey stuffing. All the food was great, my my brother in law Clayton did a great job. the only hitch was that he put the turkey in late so it seemed we had dinner a couple later than planned.
We all ate too much but still had room for dessert which also great.
the whole family was there including his girlfriend Nell's parents so they got to have fun watching us be wacky.
I got to make fresh cranberry jelly for the turkey, everyone loved it and we promptly ate most of it.
My wife Linda is supposed to make a turkey for us this weekend so I will get more stuffing to stuff myself with just like Winnie the Pooh.
