Things up to now:
It’s been a long time since I wrote anything to post so about time to get a real update out there. As of February 14th 2010 I’m now living and living in Denver Colorado and it’s truly been a good move. I love being in the city and being able to get up into the mountains easily is really nice. Things work wise were totally falling apart stupid decisions down from upper management and poor middle management making things very hard to deal with, jobs not being sold, positions getting cut and other rearranged, tremendous amounts of stress, to the point of not getting to sleep at night and Sundays being the worst with just the sheer dread at the thought of having to go in to start another week. I saw things showing no positive outlook so felt it was time to put real action behind my desire to relocate to Colorado, already having good relations with my sister company in Denver I started talking serious about actually moving up in late June and got things going, lots of phone calls and emails getting things worked out and visit in August to make sure I truly wanted to work for them. Things continued downhill as all this went on, they started pulling things out from under me and managed to make a full week and get paid for Thanksgiving holiday and then it all fell apart, I hung on to bits and pieces here and there as I worked like mad to get my house cleaned out, packed up and ready to put on the market but didn’t get more than 20 hours a week from that point forward and not enough to get paid for Christmas or New years. I turned in my notice and finalized everything I had and actually made it to it being time to take the drive. It’s been an adjustment moving from only living in a house with a yard to an apartment but planning on getting another place with a yard. Work is much better, company is just about the complete opposite of what I moved away from and that’s a big positive, it’s a comfort to be welcome when I’m working in the office instead of being questioned as to why I’m there and what I’m doing. Checking in on things now I was going to be changing jobs regardless because they have scaled back even more and once I left they closed down anything for controls and automation so I would have been let go if I didn’t transfer and move.
