It's more a "we're probably gonna go with the local guy who has more experience with animals than you, but here's contact information for some other people that may be looking for lab technicians in the near future" deal. I'm also watching job listings in the DC area. But I'm going to be heavily involved in several experiments where I am in the coming months, and as much as I want to get out of AR I don't want to leave people who are depending on me hanging.
