Moving in 3 days! Yikes!

September 17th, 2008 at 06:29 pm

I'm moving to California on Saturday... my flight is 7am. I'm still not completely packed and I have two more shifts until I'm done with work. I've really cut this down to the wire, but really I didn't have much of a choice. Everyone around me basically squeezing the life out of me.

I am however glad to be almost done with my part-time job in retail. Enough of retail... and the drama between co-workers and managers. I never knew adults could act so childish. They talk about each other behind each other's back and then get angry when they find out they were talked about from the other person. I don't think they even realize how hypocritical they are being. Oh well. I'm done with that chapter and moving on for the better.

So I'm moving to CA to start over and begin a new life. I figure now is the right time because I have no attachments or obligations. Some people think I'm crazy, but I can't let them hold me back. One of my managers told me "We are all for people trying new things. But don't be embarrassed if you need to come back, you will always have a job with us." I mean I know he had good intentions when he told me that, because frankly I'm not the first one to just pick up and leave. There have been others before that come running back because things didn't work out. However that's them, not me. I'm determined to make this work for me.

You can't expect to win the lottery if you never play. Right? lol.

As far as the accounts go... pretty much stable... all the money recent in go right back out to pay for moving expenses, ticket and so on. I guess I should get back to packing.

    Good luck in your new state with your new job. I come from a long line of people who left home to seek our fortunes. Smile The kind of drama you describe seems to exist everywhere, but some types of jobs draw it more than others.

    That's awesome!

    It's always been my dream to just pack up and go ...

    And then I had my daughter REALLY young.

    Never the less, I will make it out one day. We just have to plan it now.

    Congrats on moving... although our move wasn't quite so drastic (only about 8 hours, two states away), the culture is MUCH different here, and we knew absolutely nobody. It's been pretty fun just figuring out where to go, what to do, how to interact with people.

    And as for the retail drama - it sounds very familiar, lol.

    I did the same thing only moved from MI to CO. Its a little scary how many people move, then give up and go back home. People actually were surprised when they gave up but I succeeded in my new hometown. As long as you are motivated, you should do fine. I will warn you though, it does take about 2 years to get your feet really under you when you move somewhere.

    Enjoy the move though! Its exciting to set up a home somewhere new!
