Within the last week, I've received so many job offers my head is spinning. Since Toby skipped the quadrant, I've started talking to my soon to be cousin in law to get the information I need to be able to negotiate a good contract when I'm ready to. Korth mentioned my lack of pressing need for income gives me an extra advantage when negotiating.

Korth actually left his job a couple months ago, so I haven't had inside information for a little while, but that hasn't slowed down their contact with me one bit. Apparently they really want me, but some of the other companies have picked up on this and there seems to be a major offer war going on, and all I have to do is sit back and watch. It is quite amusing, and certainly speaks well of what I'll probably end up with when I finally sign with someone.

My instructors have said something about possibly letting me graduate halfway through the year. I wouldn't fight it, but I wouldn't mind staying the rest of the year either.

Jarzen came home for the weekend last week, so his family gave me those days off. Apparently it didn't go over well when half the people he talked to while he was here asked where I was. I'm told he tried to demand I get fired, but got a lecture about how his feelings can't be used as a reason to fire me, especially since he's away with his star fleet stuff and I've also been good for business. That seemed to really irk him, but his sister told me he didn't say anything else about it until he left.

I feel kinda bad for putting his family in the position of having to defend their choice of hiring me, but it is their choice. They could easily fire me if they wanted to, so I shouldn't worry about it.

Anyhow, I've got to go, I agreed to a game of pool with some guys from a fighter squadron passing through. Maybe I'll get some useful tips from them about flying.
