All my efriends and real friends alike:
Please be aware that I am currently totally stressed out. Why you may ask? Well, because my company has asked me to transfer to another city. That is right kids I am leaving cowtown and going down to the states, well San Jose to be more percise. The most stressful part is, I leave tonight! I will be spending my last hours here packing and spending time with my family.
Really this comes at a great shock to me as it would to anyone else. My company called me up Friday to give me that offer. It comes with a huge pay raise and more responsibility with it. I want responsibility and more money is okay in my book, but the downside is that I have to more to San Jose. I really like the company I am working for and I believe in what they are doing. I want to be part of this company because I really see them do awesome things in the future and I want to help be a part of it. It has took me some great thought to come to this decision to leave the only country I have ever known and go into a new place all by my self. It will quite an adventure.
I really wish I could stay here long and have a going away party. Say goodbye to all the people I have met in my town and wish them the best in the future. Say that I will stay in touch with them, talk to them a few time through emails and such and slowly drift apart. You know how that goes.
But I won't be getting any hugs from my friends, my family I will when they drop me off at the airport later today. I am not going to go into specifics on who I want to give hugs to, but you know who you peeps are.
Lucky for me, I have a brother than just moved into a new place. He will be taking most of the stuff I have here and keep what he wants, and selling what he doesn't. He will be giving me any profits he makes on anything he sells, includeing my house. My family will ship me all the stuff I want to keep, like my clothes and video games. I hoping my computer will come soon as I will be offline until then. It will be a tough time without my e-friends or real friends around. So send me some good vibes as I am off into a new adventure!
Fortunately, my company has already found me a place to stay until I can find and home down there. It is the hotel right across the street from where I am about to work. The commute will be awesome!
There are some things I am going to like about this new placement. More pay, better commute, etc. I just hope I can survive the extremely hot weather down there. I will only be staying there for a max of a month. Then I will have to be in my own place. How easy is it to find a good place when I get down there? I wish I knew. I will also have to get a new car as I can't very well take the one I have here. Just something else my family has to take of when I leave. It was a great car too. I was going to keep that baby until it broke down. To Sam the car, I will miss driving you and all the good times we had.
Only thing I am truely worried about is meeting new peeple down there. There is my co-workers, but they are all in their 40's and well, I don't think they will up for staying out all night. Not that I do that here all the time, but I would like to sometimes. When I move to Calgary, it took me about 5 years to find some people I could hang out with. I got a feeling that this will happen again, but it will be harder. Maybe I should look into online friends getting again. *sigh* Even now, I am sad that I can't get a real goodbye from my friends that I have here. It took me some time to find these friends and now it just seems like a waste of time to get to know them. Because in the pit of my stomach, I know that we will drift apart now. I think that is the saddest part out of all of this. On the up side, I will be back in Christmas for a visit. I will try to squeeze in all the visiting time I can get. So be aware when I come back.
Okay readers, it is time for me to get packed and head off. I will be offline until I can get my computer down there. I will leave you with this nugget of wisdom that I have learned while here in Calgary; be aware of what is doing on around you, you will never be surprised when something jumps out at you, even from the start.
Lots of Cheers,
