Yeah, I start a new job Monday. It'll involve relo - it's 500 miles from here. I'm on a "trial basis" with the employer so I wasn't gonna say anything until I found out if it was gonna work out or not.

We'll see - I'm in the midst of a lot of change. This whole deal will be turning my life upside down.

Thanks for all the inquiries and happy thoughts - your support means a lot!

500 miles... Northbound but south of the Ohio River? Hmmmm....

Are you in Kentucky or Tennessee? (or did you sneak into Indiana?)

How about some details on the new job? I am glad that you found something. I will search my company's DB to see if we have any openings in the Lexington-Cincy area.

I'll be working for a company that manufacturers and sells automotive service training equipment. They are also doing some online automotive service training curriculum.

It looks as though my automotive and computer skills will both be put to use, plus I'll be learning some new things.

This hasn't been a bad gig, but maintaining two households (I have a rented room in NKY) along with separation from my family has worn very thin. I couldn't give my house in AL away, and the housing market is getting worse instead of better.

The GOOD NEWS is that I have accepted an offer from another consulting company to one of the automakers. My last day in NKY will be the 30th of September.

I'll be working from home in the new gig, and will also be doing some local/regional travel.

I'm glad things are working out for you. It's hard enough worrying about this stuff when you're single. I can't imagine how tough it would be with a family to look after. Best of luck at your new gig.

Thanks to all of you... It is a new gig, but it'll be familiar territory.
