I'm bored, I'm sick, and I'm supposed to be sleeping instead of being on the internet. So being that I've exhausted my usual haunts on the Internet (Facebook and Hotmail, they don't take that long to exhaust) I've decided to create a blog. And no, it's not really the Chronicles of Squatch, although I'm sure Squatch will be frequently making appearances here, but I really couldn't think of a name, I'm just so damned original. But now that we're making another cross continental move, with plans on hopefully getting married in a year, and a trip to Alaska in August, I figured that there is enough stuff going on in my life to randomly blab about it.
So first things first, The Move. Capital M. We're talking close to 3000 miles here, or 2950.17 miles to be exact. Over 45 hours driving in the car, in a 4 day period. Hell on earth, at least going through the Midwest will be, if I recall correctly the Midwest wasn't all that fun to drive through last night, I highly doubt that much has changed. I also recall a particular trollish McDonald's in Wisconsin that did not take credit cards or debit cards, they didn't even take their own damn gift cards which I had. I hope we don't wind up at that same McDonald's again. Good thing we're taking a different route huh? From New Jersey, to Illinois, to Nebraska, to Utah, and FINALLY to our new home in Vancouver, WA. I'm becoming more OCD with age, after cleaning the house and doing laundry yesterday I spent several hours mapping out different courses, digging up the addresses and phone numbers we needed, finding motels in Salt Lake City, all for the nice beautiful itinerary I completed in the end. I'm becoming more like my dad the older I get. So lets see:
- Find a place to live. Check
- Pinpoint a time to move. Check
- Map out our course. Check
- Find a pet friendly motel to stay in. Check
- Create an itinerary. Check.
- Find a job. Big empty box with NO Check.
So that shall be my next task. Finding a job. Ugh. I have one set up to go and be sent, but I've been too lazy to scan it in and mail it, I need to do that soon. I even have all my references lined up. So lets keep our fingers crossed I get one of these positions I'm applying for. Oh wait, that's right, I have to actually send in my application first.
The move shall be chronicled in every state. The countdown has begun, T-52 days!
