My beloved company was sold to our hated competitor a month or so ago. About the same time, I was recruited by another company for a VP position and went there to interview, along with two other candidates. I've been invited back for a second interview, but the other two weren't, so I'm now the only candidate, and apparently will be getting an offer.

If it happens, I will be relocating to a very different part of the country, generally speaking, the Midwest. The closing on the sale of the company won't be until at least April, so I'll have to stay until then to get my retention bonus and exercise my stock options. After that, a new adventure, perhaps.

The Midwest isn't so bad.

Pablo · Never Draws a Blank

I totally agree! I grew up in Canton and went to college in Pittsburgh. I'm now talking about North Dakota....that's still midwest, isn't it?

worm · unregistered

isn't north dakota part of the great white north? or is that reserved for canada?

Chuck · Daedalian Member

The Dakotas are in the west but the subject rarely comes up because no one lives there.

Courk · Daedalian Member

Oh, duh! I knew you were from Canton. Embarrassed

I expect people will poke fun at me now, moving to Fargo, but we'll see who has the last laugh when global warming takes the average temp in Phoenix to 140 and Fargo will then be a comfy 70. Mwahahahahaha.

Actually global warming is going to cause glaciation in the Dakotas. Don't you know how this works yet?

I assume you would get more house for your buck there? I can't wait to see what kind of palace you end up with. Felicitous

Don't get excited. He'll get 10% of the state at best.

Already found a house and have pictures, but don't know how to post them. I'll email them to Quailman, and maybe he can post them on here.

Just emailed them to q-man. Check out that office! The current occupant is the guy who built it and he's going to build himself a new one this summer, so this one isn't listed yet, but is for sale. I don't even know the asking price yet, and Mrs P. hasn't seen it, but I have a feeling she'll approve.

Thanks, Q.

Wow this house looks great.
Love the work room and the green at the yard.
I hope you get it.

Courk · Daedalian Member

I love the legs on the little side table in the living room.

Beautiful house. How much land is it on?

I hear he got a great deal.

No one in San Diego ever sees Candyman, but that's because we don't mention Candyman. At least not three times in a row while looking in the mirror.

We now own the aforeshown house. You can click on the images in Post 15 to see real pictures of it.

So this is the new place. Looking good, Pablo!

They aren't kidding about the cold, wind chill there is esp brutal. I guess the wind doesn't have much in the landscape there to slow it down.

I read a little discussion about the wild back yard. Let's see the pics of that sometime.

Pablo · Never Draws a Blank

you can go to

http://www.terrybeckerconstruction.com/php/products.php

and click on the ‘custom homes’ picture, then click on ‘next’ until you come to the second house…a mauve colored stucco house. There are about 8 pictures of the outside, including the back yard and red brick patio. If you click on ‘custom cabinetry’, the first two pictures show our office and kitchen. Under ‘millwork’, the second and third pictures are our house. Under ‘home furnishings’ it’s pics 5,6,7 and 8.

Impressive house. Too bad it isn't near the ocean!

And where are all the babes?

Chuck · Daedalian Member

The ocean will arrive soon enough.
