Oh the Florida Sunshine.... Who needs it?!

Something I won't have to be dealing with.. :( Unfortunately not because everything all worked out and I get to work in my pj's from bed everyday... They were simply set on not contributing one bit to the relocation process,,,, financially or in flexability and understanding of what it takes to get from one state to another... (I guess they thought I could do it in one trip Friday after work so I could be there Monday morning!)

So I had a good 5 minute cry... then was reminded by a good friend that I didn't want to move to Florida anyway! Generally I've come to learn that if something doesn't quite add up at the beginning, chances are it won't later either... (Plus I heard that the salty ocean water can really wreck havoc on your car)

So...... Back to the drawing board,, It actually got me motived to actively start looking for something else,,, Submitted my resume for two other jobs today, and will do more tomorrow.. If nothing else, this whole process has restored some of what the current work environment has sucked out of me..

Brighter roads ahead I'm sure !!!

Blog......Boring!!!

Does anybody have a clue as to how I can make my blog a little more 'personal'? There are all these cool ones out there, and I have no idea how to make mine just as cool? I know just enough to be dangerous..



Anybody have any good links with easy instructions??

So who has been praying for me to have patience??!!!!!!

I played lots of phone tag today with my prospective new boss... To my surprise and delight, he is going back to his Exec.VP to see what we can work out with the whole relocation thing... I'm trying everything I can to not have to sell my house... Not because I love it here, and can't imagine leaving,,,, but because if i'm selling, I'm sure as heck not moving to Florida! (I say that now,, in 24 hours I could very well be singing the praises of the southern Florida sunshine!)


The boss actually gave me a compliment today,,, first in about 6 months,, and yes, I wrote it down on my calendar! You have to appreciate the small victories!

And so it starts.......

OK,,, so I thought I would give this a try... My friend Rachael, who I haven't seen or talked to in YEARS sent me a link to her new blog,,, I loved it,,, Plus, the best part is now I get to check in on her, and feel like I am actually connected to her in some small way again...

So,,, I know I'm awful at keeping in touch, regardless of what my intentions are. I'm hoping I can find time to do this a few nights a week,,, and keep those of you that care in the loop so to speak,, (or those of you that just need to feel good about your own life so you check in on mine to see what a mess it is! )...

So here's the current 'mess'.... I wasn't very happy with my job, a lot of stress, very little appreciation, no acknowledgement... Low and behold, someone from Human Resources thought of me for a position that came open... I put my resume together, had a half hour phone conversation with the hiring manager, and to my surprise I was offered the job!! So you're wondering the source of the stress?? The job's in Florida,, yes Florida, the stomping grounds of my youth (does early 20's count as youth? at 40, 20 seems youthful to me!)... I haven't even been in SC for two years yet, and quite honestly have not even fully unpacked!! Oh, and I own a home, and the housing market is HORRIBLE!

Hopefully I'll have news on that in the next couple days... I'll keep you posted!
