I mentioned in passing a few weeks ago that I had been laid off. Well, I've gotten a new job and will be moving down to Warner Robins, GA in two weeks. The downside is that I will be even further from my family in Bham, but it's a good job with a defense contractor, so it should be insulated from economic weirdness.

Plus, I go from my 45-60 minute ATL commute to under 10 minutes. So now I'm packing up the ATL apartment. The move itself should be relatively easy, as I don't have all that much stuff.

Good for you, jt. Warner Robbins may be farther from B'ham, but I think you will find the reduction in your stress levels and work commute worth the extra time getting to Bham. The only thing I know about WR is it is hot as blazes. There used to be an Air Force base there but suspect it is closed by now. Good luck.

Congrats. I hope you love the new job.As I have told my kids, finding a job that you love, are excited about going to when you wake up in the morning and pays well enough is a great blessing. I have been pretty lucky in that regard.
Good luck to you in the new digs.

Give me ambiguity or give me something else.

Already got one. Dialysis, lab and sterilization central water systems. MarCor has hired me as their FSE for the entire state of Alabama. Lot of work, lot of travel, but with a far narrower focus and far more pay. Company truck and all that too.

Good luck to you, Dub. Do you have anything else lined up or just taking early retirement? A man with your kind of money after all ...

There was a point where I was becoming frustrated at my current job earlier this year. I dusted off the old resume and sent it out. I was offered a job the next day. My current job sensed something was up as I “seemed distracted”. I was open about it and they responded by offering me a raise to stay. I am going to stay. The other offer was in North Carolina anyway and I did not really want to leave for another state.

and then last night I get 3 calls from 3 different people I used to work with asking me if I am interested in making a change.

I have an interview next Tuesday with another architecture firm. It will be back to the type of work I enjoy and no more government jobs. I have never had an informal interview like this. It is a lunch interview. I miss doing this type of work (hospitality), but I am tired of K-12 schools and this seems to be the direction of the current job. I would be going to a place that I already know about 3 or 4 people who have all vouched for me which is why my interview is going to be so informal. It wasn't that long ago that the current job convinced me to stay and now I might be bailing.

Sometimes you got to roll the dice.

I would say it wasn’t that long ago. Looks like it was just last week.
