I'm Moving On

[andysocial]

Got a job offer in Texas, and we've decided to take it. So, off to San Angelo again.

Anyone want to buy a house in Sierra Vista?

Wow, congratulations. :)

New job

[andysocial]

Of course, this means no more free trips to DC for me. This is not at all a bad thing, on balance. It means no more free trips to Omaha too. hehe

Wow

[talitha-oy.livejournal.com]

That must have been some job offer. That was sudden! Was it more money, or just the opportunity to go back to Texas?

Re: Wow

Similar pay, free babysitters, no travel, one task instead of 18, etc.

... just that much closer to make it easier to get to camp ;-)

Re: Camp

[andysocial]

Nope, further. Instead of being in Arizona, I'll be in Texas.

It doesn't look like I'll be there this year - I'll still be settling and looking for a house or something.

oh that's right ... grrrrrrrrr ;-)

I understand hon :-)

Congrats on getting the hell out of here. ;)

[andysocial]

If we were able to live in Tucson and get paid decently, we'd stay here. Living in Sierra Vista and working my particular job is unpalatable.

[therealsugshady.livejournal.com]

I can imagine... I went to Sierra Vista once, and that was enough for me. ;) Sounds like you got a decent job upgrade to boot!

[andysocial]

The big problem with my job here wasn't the pay (that was actually set for a BIG upgrade if I stayed), but the constant travel. Not much point in having a house I'm never in and a family I see every other week. I'm not in the army anymore, I don't need that crap.

Now, enygma and I will be able to go out occasionally, with the in-laws to watch The Boy for us. We can act like we're a real couple, instead of a couple of people that tag-team childcare.

'We've' decided?

Am I out of the loop here? Who else is in this equation that equals a 'We've'?

[ex-enygma701.livejournal.com]

Are you not as observant as the rest of the population? I thought you and Gary and the rest of that bizarre high school group were such "good friends".

[mcbarnes1970.livejournal.com]

On the contrary, I an overly observant in most cases, but events in my life have kept my primary focus on the events happening in my life which I know my friends understand perfectly.

I understand that he has another girlfriend, I just wasn't aware that it had become serious enough to warrant a "We've"...

As for the 'bizarre high school group' comment, while rather rude and unwarranted, I prefer to think of us as ecclectic.

Re:

[ex-enygma701.livejournal.com]

Yeah, if you're not observant enough to see I'm not merely his "girlfriend" then you really are just plain dumb.

[mcbarnes1970.livejournal.com]

In the interest of keeping flames to a minimum, and at the request of my friend, I am going to opt out on commenting on your latest reply...

Gary, I hope the new job provides everything you need and more. After all, I mean, TEXAS? You couldn't pay me enough to live there, so I hope they are paying you more than enough.

Texas

[andysocial]

You moved to North Carolina and you're gonna pick on Texas?

Thanks for the concern, but they'll be paying me enough. Those free babysitters are a nice perk too.

I prefer snow in the winter to flatlands and armadillos... :) Check out the weather report my friend - we got 2 inches of the white stuff (and I don't mean columbian marching powder).

BTW, I am dropping you an email... Be on the look out!

Re: Texas

[talitha-oy.livejournal.com]

Either way, both of you are going to have to have your teeth counted in a year, to make sure living in the sticks hasn't robbed you of them. ;)
Especially Mike! :-D

Re: Texas

[mcbarnes1970.livejournal.com]

Ouch! I'll be sure to find a good dentist to put off the losses for as long as possible...

Just curious, whats real estate like now in the Tucson area? I used to live in Catalina and I miss it....I was thinking of moving back or packing up and going to the big TX...Dallas or maybe Austin...

Tucson Real Estate

[andysocial]

Tucson prices are pretty reasonable, actually. I was looking at houses there this summer/fall, and a 1200 sq ft place could be had for under 80 pretty reliably. Not too shabby. And Tucson is a cool little hippie town, too. I'm told Austin is the place to be, though.

Ive heard that too..maybe one day I will get the balls to run like the wind!
