Moving (we think)
Hello LJ-peeps!
Some of you are on my facebook now, which is the social networking site I frequent more frequently. I find that lately, in comparison, I miss the thoughtful, down-to-earth, respectful, and mature musings of my LJ friends (most of whom I sadly haven't even met in real life). And yes, you all are all of those things, as they are not mutually exclusive to being silly!
Anyhow, The Big News: Me and my wonderful man are moving to Nashua, NH at the end of September / start of October. I was offered a transfer with my current employer to a job in Andover, MA (about half an hour from Nashua by car) - basically the same job in a different place (exactly what I want).
One annoying and slightly worrying thing - I was offered this transfer by phone, and I have nothing on paper saying that It Is So. It bothers me because one coworker said she moved to St. Louis for a transfer, only to have to then move back, because somehow her information was lost in the shuffle and they didn't have a job for her. I am freaking myself out wondering if that will happen to me, and meanwhile spending more and more money on necessary aspects of relocating.
Then there's the matter of me being all yappy and impatient and ready-to-go, but unable to DO much of anything because I work during the day when most of the insurance companies, banks, license and registration bureaus, movers, apartment complexes, etc. are open. I have to depend on my much more laid-back hubby to get it all done. I keep wanting to yell NOWNOWNOW! Which is completely unproductive, and he keeps not doing it "NOWNOWNOW" like I want.
So I'm learning a lot about having faith lately. Gawd, I hate depending on other people.
