The NC position is officially dead and buried. Company announced that they discontinued negotiations with the customer on Thursday. I'm in the hopper for two other positions within the company, and one with our NJ customer. I told HR if they want to retain me, the key will be getting me an offer letter before NJ does. Flat out, I want out of what I'm doing now, and if it results in me having to move to NJ, so be it. I also found out there is an opening with our Seattle customer as well, so I will be following up on that too. I'd love to move back to Seattle, I think enough time has passed from the bad memories for me to be able to return without freaking out.
I just need a change. I feel like I'm in a rut. This is the feeling that I usually get before I do something insanely stupid like quit my job and move to a new city overnight (like the first Seattle move). This time, however, the cat and the fact that I have a house to sell makes that kind of rash decision-making a tad bit more difficult. However, considering how fast I can make things move for myself, I won't be surprised if two months from now, I'm living in South Jersey.
I've already gotten permission from my mortgage company to rent my house, so it seems as if the most feasible alternative I have would be to move out, hire a cleaning crew and a painter to come put the house back in ship-shape, get a real estate agent to handle the rental process, and become a landlord with my house in Atlanta, at least for the time being.
If I don't wind up moving, then I'm going to go forward with starting to decorate the house. The white walls are about to drive me bonkers, but I've been holding back on doing anything until I hear about where I'm going to be for a while.
I really should work on my speech for Toastmaster's tomorrow. However, I'm not really all that worried about it because it's an ice-breaker speech, and the topic is supposed to be to talk about yourself. I could do that for hours, and I really only have to do it for 4-6 minutes. Still, I need to work out an outline, etc.
Well, that's it for this week's update. At least I seem to consistently update on Sundays (when I'm in town). I'm going out of town for the next two weekends in a row... I'm going to hang out with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
ladyleo and dch4 next weekend in Raleigh for my birthday. Then, 4th of July weekend I'm going back out to Vegas to do some more soul-searching.
Ciao for now.
