Okay. I've got to get some opinions on this.

I moved to this state realisticly about Oct. 31. Mostly because I had an interview with a well known bike company. I was kinda told by someone on the inside that I needed to get my ass up here quick so I could interview for the position.
I came up here within four or five days. Didn't get my first interview till about 2 weeks later. Then had another interview between like Thanksgiving and Xmas. Both went great. I hit him up every two weeks or so to see what the story is with the position and he says that he is super busy, which I believe, and that he'll be making a descision in another week or so. This has been going on since fucking Xmas guys. The he finally tells me to come out to the office today. So I drive out there. And he tells me that there are two positions that he's hiring for, and I'm one of three candidates that he's considering.
I kinda thought in the back of my head that this was gonna be it. I was gonna be hired today. I mean this fucking process started in August. FUCK!!!

I guess the news he gave me was good. If he wanted to get rid of me, or if he thought I wasn't even qualified for the job, he could have told me to fuck off long ago. I guess I should be happy I'm being considered. I'm just tired of fucking waiting on this guy. He says that he's gonna make a descision on or by March 7th, the day before my birthday. If I don't get an early birthday present from this guy, I might give him one in the gas tank of his car. :wink:

I don't know what I'm looking for here. I know this is long. But I'm just fucking pissed. Thanks for reading this if you got this far.

Keep your eyes on the prize, Michael. You'll get it, and if not, well you'll just have to show holmes what the Smoke Dog is really all about.

I play music on the side. And when I came up here, I was getting unemployment from my last job still. That ran out in December. But the music pays the bills, barely.

Plus I left Atlanta just cause it was time to go. Nothing good was coming out of me being there at that point (failed relationship, too much drinking, snorting, same old shit, etc) I just need to get out, RIGHT THEN. So I wasn't exactly myself.

I know. I know, dumb move but, had to be done.

Hey, at least you're DOING something. That's awesome. Not too far from dat ATL either. Being able to head to a DAWG game whenever you want should make it totally worth it.

I'd try and look and find something else in the meantime, just in case it doesnt pan out...

sucks that they keep ya waiting for so long, especially with the sacrifice and re-location that you did..

good luck.
