End of days
Either way, it’s of no real concern, we leave in a couple weeks, and that’s that. They can’t keep us past our date without a serious need. Powerpoint isn’t in the list of ’serious’ problems yet.
I’ve been quite negligent of posting anything. It’s only been a week and a half, though it does feel a lot longer. Here’s the skinny. My company, the civilian one, after this whole time of telling me that I was going back to Dayton, breaks it to me telling me that now I’m going to New Jersey. On one hand, I see it as a pretty decent opportunity, being in proximity to NYC, Philly, Boston, DC, yada yada yada. The drawback is that I still won’t ever get to see my daughter. The other drawback is that this is going to have a serious strain on my relationship with Jessica. She’ll also be leaving her son behind…
I guess someone said that they didn’t realize I was as bitter as I am after reading this. I never thought of myself as bitter, but I’m getting that way. I’m seriously on the verge of once again losing everything. I could go on about that, but there isn’t any need to anymore. I just think it’s my luck to be screwed at everything, that I am always having to rebuild constantly, starting new. It gets real fuckin’ old. I wouldn’t be nearly so pissed if I were kept back and sent here for a real purpose. I served absolutely no purpose here other than sucking up tax payer money and slightly reducing the worlds chicken population. I am trying what I can though, to stay in the eastern mid-west. I’m applying for every job that I’m either qualified or slightly qualified for. I don’t think I’m going to have enough time to find a job however. I will get less than a week in the states to finalize any job I may get, to interview, find a place to live, so forth. Realistically, that’s not enough time. So, now, the goal is to get my company to give me a significant cost of living increase in my salary for moving to NJ, since everything there is stupidly expensive. I have to find a place to live, finalize my slot at that airport, and friggin start the fuck over, again.
At least I have an enormous penis to keep me company.

Damn Mark,
I wish I could say I didnt know where you are coming from. However I have had to do the same style crap. And it has always been in the same city, but Houston is a big city. Looks like I will be having to go to the East Coast about a year from when you settle in. My Step Grand Father is the CFO of a company in Grand Rapids, I will ask him if they are hiring any IT guys and if they are will get him to email you the details.
Good Luck man, I hope everything works out.
