Igster's Inklings

So, as my sister put it, we’ve come or is it (gone) full circle? Way back in 2000, we moved to Bloomfield NJ when my wife got a better job in NY. Bloomfield was a place that was close enough.

After there we moved to TX. We lived there for about 6 years. Then here to PA. Now, it seems that as my sister also put it, losing her job was a blessing in disguise for us.Monday, she got a call at 10 til 3 saying, essentially her job was done. Well screw you, very much. So, all the 60 hour weeks, working til 11 or later at night, didn’t mean shit to them. I’m sure all the people in the local office kissed enough butt and got to stay.

As they say, life goes on. I hinted at it a little bit on twitter Thursday night. Friday we took a day trip to NJ for her job interview. She was offered a position and accepted it. Now we need to start looking for a place to live. The job is in Bloomfield NJ. I don’t know if that’s where we’ll end up, or someplace close. When we lived there, we loved it. It was close to so many things, yet was a quiet place where we felt safe raising two very young kids.

I’m looking forward to going back. Granted where we are isn’t super far, but 2.5 hours  one way is a pain in the ass.My wife drives and never says anything about it. But, I know it’s not easy for her. She knows it’s important for me to see my family and she likes it as well. So, she does it. It’s not like we can just hop in the car and go. It requires a certain amount of planning. Not so much once we’re back in NJ.

I will need to find employment once we’re back there. Most likely something in retail. Then I plan on finally getting my real estate license. I’m thinking of Commercial Real Estate, but who knows?

Thank you again to all of you that sent positive thoughts and words of encouragement.
