Still hanging on...
I'm still outside of Savannah, GA and I am still not feeling that this is the right place. My parent's keep saying to give it time as we're still in pandemic mode and once things are back to normal I may like it... but it's hard. I'm alone, they have each other, my sister, the dog, and family they see.
I'm here by myself, I'm not really fitting into the local culture, and I'm beginning to get the feeling if I stay here I will never find a partner and be alone forever. The locals just turn me off, they tend to be very close minded and not what I'm attracted too... on the upside I may be overweight but compared to 90% of the local population I'm thin.
I have the opportunity to transfer to a few places being with a world wide company and in healthcare, I'd have to repay my pro-rated signing bonus if I leave before next March. I just fell like I either say "This is it" and buy a house here (and wow are they nice and affordable with easy access to Savannah, Hilton Head, I-95, and shopping) or I go someplace else and risk wasting more time trying to find where I'll be content.
Oh and the one local friend I have decided they were moving back to NY. I have family out by Atlanta but that's a long drive.
My sister's oldest two are in Charlottesville, VA and seem to like that area and it's not as affordable as here and they're are open positions there and it's not nearly as bad as trying to move back to NY where there are also a number of open positions. Housing prices in NY are just insane.
So do I stay or do I go now?
I'm also not sure I like the job... the last person who had it made a mess that I am just now taking the last few steps to clean up... and I hate this part of the job. I also feel like the rest of the clinical team don't pay attention to what I say. I know the last person did the minimum necessary but I am trying to do the best for my patients and residents...
So advice? Opinions? Suggestions?
