do you think you'll settle for good, or will the 'seven year itch' hit you again?

Oh... Heaven's no. =)

After Vegas, I foresee us moving to Ventura (Above LA) and then maybe to Texas.
Will I get Night Owl points for quitting but not as much for getting fired?
Will I still be a member of the Owl's Pals? I'd hate to turn in my card. It's got a real owl feather under the lamination and everything.


Night Owl: Oh, indeed. I quit many a job ...better than being fired. You can keep your card... in fact, you get double points for quitting!

You get the Doom Handshake and Hug of Respect®.

=)

There's nothing more awesome than taking a chance and going on an adventure.

Best of luck!

thanks

although i've had quite a few 'running back with tail between legs' comments which are hurtful but then i think they're just jealous they dont have the nuts to throw caution to the wind and the more they say stuff like that, the more determined i am to make it work. 

anyways, even if i do come back to glasgow it won't be cause london didnt work out, it'll be cause i want to be back here...if that time should ever come and i'm sure it will. 

anyways, worse comes to worse, I'll start smoking crack cocaine and sell my body for drugs, good idea no?

either that or it'll be new york, that's my next destination if i get bored of London.

am i the chinese hobbit version of Doombot?!

then isnt that your answer on the house question?

unless, if you do the buy the house idea, are you thinking about renting it out once you move and have that odd income randomly come in?

So very tired today. I was up at 4am and finally decided to take a Sonata which only made me more tired and miserable. I think I finally fell asleep around 5:30 or so. Anyway, it resulted in some strange postings over on LJ.  :P

i've just handed in my notice, i move to london in 4 weeks....

as expected, Robert was sad but cool about it, my sister freaked out, nic is also bummed but excited for me and nat is very very excited.

me? i'm doing ok, i'll probably start feeling sad and scared in a bit and then excited and hopeful, then sad and scared and it'll continue until I've moved, found a job and started my new life in a bigger and badder city than i am currently in

robert asked if i had a fall back plan if it all goes tits-up, I said no, he said 'oh..' , I said 'hmm...oh well, i always land on my feet.' 

lets hope it doesnt go tits up eh?!

hmmmm 4 weeks, reckon i've got enough time to run back and get that resignation letter off liz's desk?
probably not eh....oh well



I just love some of your expressions! If it goes tits up? roflmao! I wish you the best of luck on your new journey. I remember when I was young and adventurous, trying to make a better way for myself. Now I'm "Mom", and adventure greets me every day when my 3 teens come home from school. I think the last daring thing I did was buy a snowboard last winter and go boarding with my kids. This year I passed the board on to my daughter b/c I didn't realize that it was going to screw up my knee the way it did. :(
Sometime, you guys make me feel old. My only solice is knowing that BC is still older.  :P

Whooops. I missed that question. Yes, we would like to rent it out and have the rent pay for the mortgage and then a little bit extra to offset any repairs and such.

you're getting rather lazy in your old age BC  :P

it just seems like this is the time for adventures and then when i'm done i'll probably move back to glasgow to settle into old age.

i'll see if i can drop a few more of those sayings in although i've drawn a blank now.... i'll have a think and get back

Continuing to look for a place to live in Vegas. There's about 80 days and we still don't have a place but there's a certain sense of excitement. Like it's a game to find a place before time runs out just like when I run through red lights.

(Kidding. I drive very safe)

(kidding again)

I got my tickets for Christmas so I'll be spending 7 days in Texas. I will of course torment the boyfriend by asking (with doe eyes) to visit a real live Texas Country bar. Hopefully with a mechanical bull. (He like every other Texas transplant HATES country music). I seem to like it more now. Hawaii made me like country music.

My ticket this year was 283.00 vs 1200.00 last year. Glee!

I got promoted at work today. Don't start the new position for another 6 to 8 weeks (at least) but it's a higher grade and more money so it's all good. I move from Finance Administration over to a department that deals with management of schools.

Liz found out yesterday that she got accepted to law school.
All right, I’ve been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man whose gonna burn your house down – with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!
