For anyone who cares
 
For anyone who was wondering where I have been:


Bree and I put our house on the market last week (we have already had 2 showings, today in fact)

We are packing up and heading south once this place sells (Research Triangle area in NC, most likely just outside Raliegh)

I got a SWEET job as an independant contractor (programmer) for a company out of virginia. The pay is almost what I made at my las job, and I work from home now, so I spend almost all of my time working or with my family, hence not spending really any time here.

I make my own hours, and do something I really enjoy now, so Life is pretty good. I finally made it out to an actual theater on friday, and boy was it worth it. I saw 300 on a big screen, and I am really glad I did.

Just as long as you don't migrate away like the rest!

bloodrayne 04-11-2007 02:07 PM

Here's hoping the move, your new home, and your new job all turn out to be perfect

The Flayed One 04-11-2007 02:48 PM

Oh...But...You're getting ready to move, too...Then you'll be really far away from us :(

You should come and visit while you're still close :)

I'm already moved, love. That's why I'm so far away.

Oh...I think I was trying not to let the '3,000 miles' register...

Sadness

novadawn969 04-11-2007 03:00 PM

Well, I'm glad you have the oportunity to move and what not... Just don't leave us. I'd be sad if you left just when I come back... ^.^

novakru 04-11-2007 03:10 PM

Raleigh huh?
No shit dude, you're going to be dangerously close to me!

Good luck and congrats on your climb up the socio-economic ladder!

BTW-NC is totally low on the cost of living scale-no shit.
We just looked at a 6 bedroom for about $300,000!

But at the beach the costs are still fucking people in the ass, but what do expect...it's the beach*shrug*

I guess when you went on that North carolina Fact-finding mission you missed it was on the east coast, eh? ;)


For the record, it IS Carolina, not Dakota. We are trying to Avoid cold winters.


Nova, cost of living was a huge consideration. The overall COL in the Raliegh area is 13.4% lower than where I am now!

_____V_____ 04-11-2007 08:26 PM

Glad to know things are looking up for you, Vod.

Good to have you back. Stick around.:)

stubbornforgey 04-11-2007 09:07 PM

Good to see you Vod..
you and a few others have been sorely missed.
'waves to Bree':D

Ash's_evil_hand 04-12-2007 02:40 AM

Great news Vod. You really can't put a value on doing something you enjoy for a living.

A few years ago I took a 50% pay cut to go and work in Spain teaching English for a couple of years. Only just enough money to get by, but the value of the whole lifestyle far outweighed the pay cut. I feel much richer for the experience.

Glad you enjoyed 300 as well. I went to the cinema for the first time in ages to see it the other night - it's definitely one of those films you've got to see big screen!

I'm thinking of going again for Grindhouse and Sunshine.

Geddy 04-12-2007 02:43 AM

Congrats Vod.

AmericanManiac 04-12-2007 04:03 AM

I'm with everyone else here, congrats VOD. Have fun moving and have fun doing what you love.

Vodstok 04-13-2007 10:11 AM

Thanks everyone! I got my first paycheck today, and boy was it sweet! Being my own boss has turned out to be better than I thought.

I wrote an article for a guy who I now have to yell at because i havent seen a penny for it yet, but that is small potatoes.

crabapple 04-13-2007 10:47 AM

Awesome good news, Vod. Best of luck with the new endeavors!

Doc Faustus 04-13-2007 11:29 AM

Congratulations. It's gorgeous there.

I wasn't wondering, I figured you just got tired of this place. :p

sounds like you have a lot going on, I hope you find time to post every once in a while. :)
