move, again!
it's been awhile since i actually updated with news. so get ready cause there's a bit for me to say/type.
so i have been toying with this inevibility since prolly xmas and definitely new years ish. even more so since i got some definitive info to make me think this all the way thru.
i know i'm being cryptic.
i will be moving back east at the end of june. i'm not dissappointed excatly nor was i defeated in anyways. things just didnt work out rite.
slowly i am growing to hate my job. it's wicked easy just very booooorrrinnnnggg. adn my boss is gettin on my last nerve. the lack of communication from my to bosses to each other is hilarious but should be happening. also the lack of communicatino to some of the other patrollers is ridiculous.
the move mostly has to do with living arrangements. overall we all get along fine. yes there's a few things that get on each others nerves but we work around it. not goin to get into the nit picking things because its not necessary and has lil to do with the decision to move back.
it all comes down to timing, really. matt and eric will be goin overseas in the later part of this year and when they get back, things would change. matt and karyne will be looking to put a down payment on a house together and starting a family - did not know this when i originally moved out here and when they kinda mentioned it back in nov it didnt sound very solid. eric will want to move in with his girlfriend (whos currently in college in winnipeg). these facts were told to me seperately, eric mentioned his b4 xmas adn karyne really told me her and matts plans just after new years
now in jan when karyne told me this i really had to think, kinda panicked b/c the timing in my head sounded horrible. i figured the overseas mission starts roughly aug or sept of this year and would be shortest of 3-4months which would put the boys hoems say xmas time. but with eric the move would also have to co-ordinate with jenn's (girlfriend0 school/college semister, which would mean the she'd have her transfer done for jan term or if they waited til the summer semister mayish possiblye as late as the following sept. with matt and karyne, i figured she may do some looking around b4 he got home adn they'd make a down payment in jan or feb (after xmas holidays and whatnot) so that'd kinda leave me inthe lurch to either find soemone to move in with or find some roomates to keep current place or to move back east in jan feb march of next year. that being said, i also would be home in NS in sept for approx 2 weeks for kimmies wedding the plane ticket and spending money were looking at approx ballpark figure of $3000 being spent and then possibly havin to move home anyways?! why not save that just move home b4 hand was my thought.
so i started to toy with it and really having to make a decision. i dont wanna leave them in the lurch either. so the way i saw it, and still see it other then timing but more on that in a few, is that i dont see my social life changing in the next 3-4mnths so gettin a new place to live with roomie(s) looks next to impossible adn i dont wanna gamble thinkin well maybe and then be left in the last minute in feb or march of 2010 and tryin to move back east then. i formally made the decision this week. sunday but didnt really notify the girls back east til yesterday.
more on timing: i told eric yesterday when he was making supper and karyne and matt werent back from work (they also took the grocery list with them so i figured they'd be long). he indicated that my timing thoughts were wrong but did understand where i was coming from and what i was saying. he corrected (which isnt the right word for it) that they wouldnt be leaving for overseas till sept at the earliest but most likely oct adn the shortest they'd be there would be 4mnths but prolly not back till april. he wouldnt even consider gettin a place with jenn till after the mission and the time off that follows it (like 2months) so him and her would get a place till like the summer at earliest but more then likely july/aug.
the further info on the actual mission dates doesnt change much tho. yes it would give me more time out here but it still looks like i'd end up moving east in april/march of next year. might as well bite the bullet. i'm not attached to anything out here. some of the petty things around the house are starting to get to me at times. the city's ok. the weather is screwy and i'm not a fan. yeah i know it takes year to get used to a new climate but so far this one is not doin anything for me.
i also know that if iwas to change jobs gettin time off for the wedding might be harder to pull off. one of the reasons i havent really looked around for anything else. i already know present job will grant me the time off.
if i were to stay i would accumulate more stuff which will just make a later move even more tricky/work.
i do have a plan kinda worked out tho. i may have part time work already for when i get there (old track job, kim kinda indicated i could prolly get that back). i also am goin to submit an application to the military, for sure this time. i said it before but had the move out here on the back burner so i kinda left it to the side and never moved on it. since i've moved out here i've really been able to know/talk about how the process works and what basic actually consists of. so i'm ready for sure this time. i've also been told by quite a few that they could totally see me in the military, i hope the military agrees. that being saig all my paperwork is in NS. medical history, dental records, etc... so it'd be easier to do the application in NS then practically across country. i plan on my top job being armoured soldier (drive tanks and stuff), not sure what my other 2 choices will be tho. just the timing (more timing bs...GRRRRRR) might get tricky. if i submit the app just b4 i move it may fook up me being in the wedding which cannot happen!!!! basic is 13wks so if it started even the 2nd week of july 13 wks would still not finish till oct-ish possibly later i stopp counting once i get past the wedding to be honest. but if i dont apply rite away i'm concerned i wont go to basic quick enuf that i'll be waiting forever to hear back. sooooooooo nto sure when to start this. not even sure how long just the app process would take b/c there's a prelim interview and then i think is when they want the medical and dental records and that may take time to acquire and if there's further info or records i'd need to get that'd take time and a physical at some point, possibly a 2nd interview then the offer. then there's no guarantee that basic would start rite after the offer either soooooo.....hard to say eh?
as always, i'll keep you posted.
