It Never Fails...

So I've been back here in Vegas for a few days and history yet again repeats itself. Yesterday I got a phone call from AT&T saying I had gotten a position with them. That's all good & fine, but I'm now 2,400 miles away now. But I'd be lying if I said I hadn't entertained the idea for a few seconds after getting the call. When I left PA I had a job with UPS, so having work wasn't a problem. What was a problem is having somewhere to live. It seems to me that apartment complexes back in PA have really tightened up their requirements for getting an apartment - which is why I left. And me refusing to live with a roommate ever again leaves that option completely out.

So for the 1st time in my life I have 2 jobs - my drywalling job here in Vegas & my AT&T job in PA. My drywall job is nice because we start early and end early with no weekends, and the pay (for Vegas) is great. But can I say with 100% assurance I won't go back to PA? No. But after moving around so many times in so few years, I really need stability. And the bottom line for me is that no matter how hard I've wished, hoped, and literally prayed to get back with Michele - it's not happening. Not in this lifetime or any lifetime, and that's what will keep me here in Vegas.
