I keep expecting them to turn Mr. Ed into a feature movie starring John Elway. It's been 20 years since the Bronco/Seahawks rivalry and I still throw shit at the tv when I see Elway. Old habits die hard.
Phew, I feel better about myself already. Talked to the recruiter out in Denver, he was wrong, the job is full time and he is going to hook me up with the hiring manager for an interview. AND now my husband is kind of trying to put on the brakes. He wants to wait until I actually have an offer in hand before he even asks if he can possibly work out of Denver instead of KC. Moving is going to be a lot of work. We don't have friends or family out there. Yada yada yada. All good points, but all points that will be there forever. So, once again, unless I die here (which he knows that I have never wanted to do), they will need to be addressed at some point. Argh, I don't know what to do, he seemed on board until things actually started to move forward. I don't think he is the type to adapt to change so well.
I'm not Nostradamus, but I'd say there is a 98.4% chance a man in Kansas City is about to receive a lot of enthusiastic blow jobs. In all seriousness, I wish I had solid advice, but as a single guy who can fit everything of value I own in the back of my truck in less than two hours I have no concept of how that shit works.
Does anyone have any solid tips on rehydrating? I've had almost a gallon of water today, and I can't seem to shake this dehydration headache. mya, that sounds super stressful, but here are some words of encouragement (maybe, at least that's how this is intended): my dad got transferred several times growing up, and every time we were moved into a new house and going to school hundreds of miles away within 8 weeks. That's a different situation, but if my incredibly indecisive and anxiety-ridden (read: pain in the ass) mother can sell a house, pack and coordinate a move with a moving company, find a suitable school district and buy a house in that amount of time, I KNOW anyone can. (She did do most of that by herself because my dad would always go to whatever city and start his new job while we got situated.) Slightly hippy-dippy nonsense, but I believe that when something is meant to happen, the universe has a way of making things fall into place. Maybe the right time isn't now; maybe it's 6 months from now. But, you're in a really good position. There's no rush for this to happen RIGHT AWAY. You can take your time finding something right for you and your husband.
Although it doesn't sound like fun, I'm having a blast stocking up my brand new tool cabinet. It's so shiney and beautiful. Makes me look like my shit is together. Now I'm-a-gonna smoke a bowl of pure Hippycrack. I'll tell you the results in a bit.
Yeah, thanks for the words of advice guys. I appreciate it. And I would be lying if I said that I wasn't freaking out a bit myself. But on going with the hippy dippy thing....here are all of the what are the chances things that have occurred recently that I am taking as a sign that shouldn't be ignored.... 1. Things get to the point of suckage at my job that I decide I have had enough 2. I apply to several jobs around here and hear nothing 3. I look on my husband's company website and see the job opening in Denver, and think, he loves Denver, let's go! 4. I look online and there happens to be a NP job in UROLOGY. This isn't the most common specialty. 5. They call me back NEXT DAY and hopefully I'll have a phone interview soon. 6. If I skipped town I could still probably get a decent reference and say "shucks, so sad to leave you guys but my husband is getting transferred to Denver". 7. Still have heard nothing about jobs here in KC. I am a bit stressed about logistics, but know I could make it happen if things work out. More stressed about the rest. I don't want to convince my husband to move then we both hate it (which we likely will for the first little bit while we settle) and he resents me because I have dragged him away from the only place he has ever lived (minus a couple college years). BUT that has to happen at some point. Which I brought up to him. His response was "well, we still like to go out, I thought we would do that when we were old and never did anything". He's going to be a blast getting old with. What about rehydrating with gatorade? Or those Succeed tablets. Maybe your body needs electrolytes in addition to good old fashioned H2O?
Surely you know someone who can hook you up with a saline iv on campus right? Failing that I suggest Gatorade and a candybar of some sort, because of the glucose or something? A drunk EMT told me that one time.
This girl isn't going anywhere near campus until Aug. 27. Hmmm, electrolytes, eh? I hear these are the wave of the future. I'm too lazy to run to the store, but maybe I can dig up something salty and/or carby to help.
I forget contraband nicknames vary in location. 'round here, "hippy crack" is an alias for pure THC crystals. I collect mine from grinding pot in an electric coffee grinder, and it collects over time inside it. It's like getting "Swish" from th inside of whiskey casks only it doesn't make you blackout in a rage and see talking skeletons with the voices of your parents.
Eggs and bacon for dinner. Excellent. Coconut beer. Odd. No, not gluten free but whatever I have no advice on moving. I still can't figure out how/when to move once The Husband is at his duty station.
All imma say is - you better be ready for the next two weeks. They are pretty kick ass before I go to Cali. Also - are you going Saturday?
Buy Forearm Forklift straps for moving. Seriously, they will take ALL of the heavy lifting out of moving, no matter who you have helping you. Two people can lift an upright freezer with them like its a coffee table. Okay Chater seriously WHAT THE FUCK? This is YOUR message board and I have seen three-- count 'em-- three Nicky fucking Minaj Adidas ads up top in the last ten minutes. What'd I do, brah? Make u mad? When you think of the old phrase "All Day I Dream About Sex" the LAST thing the pops into my mind is THAT pile of pig feces.
Dont judge me. I'm posting from my phone. So there. And ^^^^^that guy^^^^^ missed a pretty awesome workout tonight.
Out of curiosity, why do you want to move so bad? Is it just the concept that you don't want to be stuck in the same spot your whole life? If it's your job you want to leave, you'll probably deal with a lot of the same bullshit elsewhere since you'll be in the same field. If it's a sense of adventure you're seeking, I can tell you as someone who hasn't lived in the same state for more than five years that the luster of new places wears off very quickly. Not trying to ask in the asshole way, just genuinely curious. If the answer is you fell in love with Denver and live to ski or you hate the city/farm life and want the opposite it's probably the right thing to do, but if you're going to move from one homogeneous suburb to another one in a different state, you're probably just over-romanticizing the novelty of change.
No friggen way. I'be no intentions of moving my own stuff again. The army will do it - so they CAN do it. As long as it all goes and then gets there in one piece I don't give a shit how they do it.
