The Rest Of The News
Garr! Do you have any idea how many times I’ve written and re-written this post? Ok. So here it is. I informed you that I had some news and gave you a partial peek into it the other day when I announced that I gave my two weeks’ notice at my job. My last day at this infernal hell will be July 30th.
I’ve had a hard time telling you the rest of the news and I had an even harder time figuring out why. I now know that there are a few reasons for that.
1) I guess part of me feels like it’s a little egotistical for me to think that anyone would even care about news in my life.
2) I really don’t want anyone ruining it for me and there is always at least one jackass out there who will email me and say stupid shit because they have miserable, sucky ass lives and must make desperate attempts to ruin the excitement or joy or happiness for others.
3) Should anyone actually be remotely interested in my life, of all things, I won’t be answering a lot of questions about it.
So, I have thought it over for a few days, trying to figure out how I wanted to word this bit of news and I’m going to have to take my friend’s advice and, frankly, the words right out of her keyboard:
"I’m going to be moving in with a family on a temporary basis, not sure for how long. It will give them the coverage they need with their homeschooled children, by having another responsible adult in the house...
Stop laughing! I’m responsible!
SIGH! Let me know when you’re finished.
Can we move on now?
...It will also give their kids access to another adult’s perspectives. It will give me a chance to have most of my household costs taken care of so I can save my earnings."
So yes, I will be moving. I am moving July 31st. I will be going up to the Dallas area. Is it a new job? Well, I guess that all depends on how you look at life. This is not a job for me. This is a fantastic opportunity for me for many, many reasons that even my friend has not touched on and I will not be touching on because some of the benefits go far deeper than what you will all hear and frankly, I’m not into sharing thoughts that personal anymore since some readers out there can’t handle them. So, for those who like to look at things in a business sense, I’ll say it like this: It’s more like a barter where I seem to be the one who is coming out on top here.
That’s really all I wish to say about this because again, there are some very personal gains here for me that I just don’t feel like sharing. When I decided that, this post was a lot easier to write.
But one final piece of information since you probably want to know who right? Well, I’m not sure if you’ve ever heard of them...but you can find them here and also over here. And one of their brilliant kids writes here.
Ok, one more little piece of information: I’m so fucking excited about this I can hardly stand it.
Thatisall.
