Irony so thick you can cut it with a knife...

As some of you who know me are aware, I've been having poor luck with employment recently. My mom is in a similar predicament, though she's recently recieved 2 offers, one here in Oklahoma City and another in Houston, Texas. Before I continue, a bit of a history lesson is needed. Me, my sister, and my mom initially moved away from Houston (where me and my sister were born, by the way) in fall 1997 because my mom was laid off and couldn't find any other jobs there so got a job in Little Rock, Arkansas. She lost that job and then got another one here in Oklahoma City resulting in another move on 12/31/98. She then lost that job a couple years ago and has been looking ever since. Here's where the irony comes in; the comapny offering her the job is pretty much the exact same company that originally laid her off and started this whole nomadic quest for employment over a decade ago! I'm incredibly overwhelmed by these developments; while it would be good to return to my birthplace, there's all kinds of hassles, hurdles, and obstacles me and my family would have to overcome, not the least of which would be moving me, my mom, my sister, and my sister's two sons, the oldest of which is only 5 years old. Part of me is all for this and hopes she gets it, but another part of me hopes she gets the local job instead, especially since I too have a local prospect; presently waiting to be called in for a second interview with Best Buy. I don't want to end up getting it and then have to turn around and hand in my 2 weeks notice because I'm moving...
