I hate my job!

[DH]

Yea, no news pretty much means they made their decision and they're either not professional enough or care too little about you to let you know.

[Father Demon]

Or you're second or third choice, and they are waiting for the b=people they like better to decide whether or not to accept the offer.

Either way, no news is bad news when looking for a job.

so i got the job

anyone got $1000 to help me with moving costs?

[General_Failure]

I'm sure IGY can hook you up with a good train ticket.

Dude. You're a farging journalist in the middle of nowhere. What could you possibly be packing? A suitcase full of clothes and a pillow. Buy a blanket when you get there. Time to start learning how to live below the poverty line.

[MDS]

well im going down there sometime next week to check things out, get a place, etc. then 2 or so weeks later moving for good. i have an old, beat up car that might blow up on that long of a trip. so...some financial decisions to make.

[Diomedes]

[Seabiscuit36]

Congrats man, but here's to hoping your car catches on fire as you cross the TX state line

sell your car and minimize the amount of personal belongings that you take with you.  pack your clothes, computer and yamaka.   box everything else up and put it in your parents garage.  you probably don't plan on being there any longer than you have to, so why take everything you own?  if nothing else, wait until you get settled in out there and if you want the rest of your stuff, it's already boxed up and ready to be shipped. 

when you get there, buy a gun.  don't look people in the eye.  in fact, stay inside as much as possible.  try and conduct interviews for your articles over the phone.  i don't say this because i think you're moving to a dangerous place.  i say this because chances are, no one in the city of brownsville, tx has ever met someone from philly and i'd really hate for you to be their first and only impression. 

[Diomedes]

seriously?  Brownsville?

[MDS]

i havent "accepted" it but im going down there fairly soon to get things in order and see the town.

this could easily blow up in my face or i could deal with it and be out in 1-2 years and on to a better spot. so well see. might as roll the dice.

[Diomedes]

you ain't gonna step right into the WaPo.

gotta learn your trade now

Brownsville, lol

[MDS]

essentially. the town isnt that bad, as far as i know.

and theres a halfway decent shot im gonna go ahead and live on south padre island. so lets slow our rolls.

[Father Demon]

Congrats, dork.  Chase your dream.
