So, the Iowa thing didn't work out. I'm moving back to Michigan. My move date took a while to finalize, and by the time it finally did, it was WEEKS sooner than I thought it was going to be, but hey, I'm looking forward to being back in MI, so it'll be okay.
I am moving this Friday!
Sucks cuz I kinda panicked and just left my job here all at once, but with only 6 days notice for my last day in Iowa, and given my affinity for accumulating massive amounts of STUFF, I need all the time possible to pack (and to stock up on time spent with the one super awesome friend I managed to make here. You don't know who he is, guys, but if you're happy I am still alive, thank him, because my depression was scarily close to winning for a while here. Beam of light, that guy was..helped guide me back out into a better place again. He isn't a furry, and will never see this, but that's okay. He knows how vital he was to my well-being anyhow. He is the one thing I will sincerely miss about living in Iowa..and he's married, so I can't keep him..poo)! My employer had been informed about a month ago that I had two or less months left, but when my end date suddenly moved from the end of November to TODAY...yeah, oops. I feel shitty for that. I've never left a job that way before. It was a good place, with good people, and I hope I have luck finding something as happy once I get back to Michigan.
Please let this be the start of something really good...please...
