wow...so a couple of weeks ago my boss asked how flexible i was to relocation...my reply was that i'll go where ever i am needed. i was kinda thinking he'd put me in Washington state or NorCal...and then I remembered the Alaska engineer quit...I was a little worried, but I can handle anywhere...so yesterday management tells me to get to Ventura/Oxnard...this is way too cool. i was bouncin with excitement. (and some fear)....but i think this will all work out great. so today i start house-hunting via net and i am way looking forward to this new journey. 
Good luck with the new job, hope it goes well! Too bad you won't be in Fresno anymore though
