It's Official # moving

[zonelistener]

There is a really good chance I may be moving soon. I should know more tomorrow - but it involves a new job - and it is due in part to the war.

Very nervous. And excited.

 

[Bonochick]

Will you move closer to me?????

 

[zonelistener]

two flights instead of one

Will you move closer to me?????

hmmm....yes and no.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

where to?

 

[Bonochick]

Well...that's a craptastic answer.

 

[Sicy]

Yeah where.

 

[Angel]

we want details........

 

[adamswildhoney]

DETAILS NOW!!!!!!!!

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

 

[zonelistener]

It is temporary.....

But it is a big life-change!

Champaign, Ill.



Yikes. But it is a good career move. Yikes.

I am so nervous.

Is it weird that I have told you guys before the majority of my friends here?

Is it weird that I have told you guys before the majority of my friends here?

your friendship network has obviously been turned upside down, inside out, then discombobulated and finally reoriented towards the Internet and more specifically Interference.

 

[martha]

Well then I won't see you when I'm in Minneapolis this summer.

 

[dizzy]

That's so exciting, Zoney! Oh, and I know how you feel...I've moved so many times.

[Bonochick]

Champaign, Ill.

That's around 7 hours from here...

Meet ya halfway!

 

[zonelistener]

HELP HELP HELP HELP!!!!

UGH!

So, I got the "offer" today. And I don't know what to do. I wish we had a better idea on how long this war is going to last.

I would be taking a HUGE paycut. Especially considering I want to maintain my residence here in Minneapolis - but maybe it is not worth it. UGH.

So, a good chunck less pay, BUT, they will be paying for my rent in Illinois. So, do I give up my place in Minneapolis to equal out the pay and screw over my landlord/roommie (who just told me we will be going to a month-by-month set-up anyway) - or do I continue to pay for a place in Minneapolis? Hell, I could make the complete move - and then find out that the war is over. UGH UGH UGH.

I feel like it is an opportunity I shouldn't pass up. I don't have any management experience - and this would be a great chance to add that to my resume. I can see potential in this industry with a position like this too - as long as United Airlines/American Airlines do not implode.

Fuck.

These are weird life decisions at 30.

 

[martha]

Stay. Screw the paycut, not your roomie. You have too many good reasons to stay in Minneapolis.

 

[Bonochick]

With all that you've told us, I would stay.

 

[zonelistener]

Stay. Screw the paycut, not your roomie. You have too many good reasons to stay in Minneapolis.

WHOA - not the response i expected...I feel I will get screwed by the roomie soon anyway. She has been dating this guy for a long time - and they are getting up there in age (he is in his early 40s, she in her early 30s) where you might want to make a life long commitment thingy. So, I would be out pretty quick.

The jobworld in Minneapolis is not very good right now.

But, I still want opinions: stay or go??????

 

[Angel]

did you say pay cut? nevermind I heard the word HUGE too. I dunno Zoney... what is this job all about that would make you want to take a pay cut and move somewhere new?

 

[Lemon Meringue]

The jobworld is not good anywhere right now.

I don't think I understand this whole job deal anyway. So I can't make much of a recommendation. But I think if I were you I'd base my decsion on the job and not so much on your living arrangements. You can always talk things over with your roomie...maybe they won't mind it if you move out anyway.

But of course...I'd prefer it if you stay.

 

[martha]

and they are getting up there in age (he is in his early 40s, she in her early 30s)

 

[Bonochick]

Poor martha...

Don't worry, looks like John must be gettin' up there in age too...what with turnin' 34 next month...ancient!

 

[Lemon Meringue]

I guess I'm past there.

 

[zonelistener]

doofs - missed the point of that sentence - I expected that though...

They are getting to that stage in their relationship......anyway.

I spoke with my roomy - and she is pretty flexible. I realized that the paycut is a little less of a blow if I don't have to pay rent here or in Illinois (the company will pay for it). ho hum. Still thinking, but I think I am going to do it!!!!

 

[martha]

@doofs

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

jeff what is this top secret job you are considering? you haven't provided us w/ any details as far as what it is you will be doing.

 

[Walkron]

See Ya
Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

















stay here

 

[zonelistener]

Oh.
The job.

Station Manager. For the airline. Temporary due to the war.
Deployment after training.
Still able to travel to exoctic locations, but through Detroit instead of Minneapolis.

 

[Angel]

Why temporary? What happens after the war? They say buh-bye to you? or place you elsewhere in the company?
