The New Stomping Grounds of The Tagliarchy

[Lewski709]

I admit my biggest fear in life is unemployment, as I have been working since before I turned 16 and couldn't imagine not having a job. Is it possible for you to do most of the interviewing and job applying long distance and then go down as you get closer to being hired?

Mine too, so that is a very scary thing....just going. HOWEVER, if we sell our house and go....we will have plenty of do re mi. My wishful scenario is putting ALL the money we get from our house back into another down there.

I have posted on Monster, carreerbuilder and check hotjobs often. I got one call, no relo provided. Am I asking too much for an employer to provide relo expenses? Some still do. So, YES....I will do the long distance interviewing and possibly obtaining.

As for DH going, getting a job and then me coming, NO WAY. Would you trust your DH to pick a house, check out schools, daycare, blah blah blah? Ok, most hubby's aren't as laid back as mine.

He can find a job easier because he isn't the breadwinner and his requirements are not as high as mine. He doesn't think about insurance and other perks, never had too. It's me girl, it's all ME. DH works for himself and is a great dad. He gets to do a lot of mom stuff, take the kids to daycare and pick them up, chaperone parties, take kids for shots and other appointments. He is not, well, as business savvy as I am. So, while he's willing to move....I really must wear the pants and make the right decisions as if I were a single parent.

Ah, anyhow.....he's a good guy, a great dad and I love him. I just bear the burden of the work thing. He'll be a daddy daycare for a while when we get there until he finds something that fits well with the rest of the schedules (DS School, daycare and my work).

Lewski709 I don't remember what you told us that you do for a living.. But some companies do have employees that work remotely.. is that something that you can do?? I was thinking that this may broaden your search since you geographic loation would not be important... also are you hooked into head hunters in Fla?? Writting letters to major companies in your field located in the area you want ??

I am sure that you have covered all of the bases.. more than once.. but it was a thought..

Good Luck
Sending Chocolate to you to make you happy....

Here's what I think - Huggabaloo is down there right now looking for a place to live. He also needs a job, doesn't have one yet. Why don't you go on down, shack up with him and his partner and you guys can look for jobs together?!? You'll have men around to protect you AND your Dh won't have to worry about you getting involved with either one of them.<a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_2_33.gif' border=0></a> What do you think? Now we just need to run this by Huggabaloo......

Seriously, it's a tough call. I personally couldn't move away without my family. DH and I have been apart 3 nights our entire wedded life, all for the birth of one child or another. My kids have never been away from me. I cry when we leave the dogs for a trip. Can't do it. But I think you're tougher than me. I know you're anxious to make this move, but try to be patient, things will work out best if you don't rush them. Pixie dust to you!

Welcome to all who have visited lately, I would go back through and list you individually, but I have to get dinner ready early tonight.

The sandal/shoe thing. I wouldn't say I have a lot of shoes, probably about 20 or so,<a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/im/itsfwi.gif' border=0></a> but I do love sandals the most. EXCEPT for the flip flop or thong type. I can't stand that piece between my toes!!! How do you do it?!? Drives me insane, and it hurts.<a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_13_9.gif' border=0></a> I wear mostly all slip on types of shoes, lots of clog type, only not Dutch ones, no wooden shoes for me.<a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/26/26_5_4.gif' border=0></a>

Gotta get dinner ready! See ya tomorrow!

Excellent thinking [color=FF66CC]llebrekniT[/color] as long as his wife doesn't mind. My DH would be ok with it. Sometimes I think my DH is ok with too much. BUT...my marriage is sacred and I don't take advantage of that.........whew, or he'd be in real trouble and never know.

As far as purse, I carry a Franlin Planner. It's my purse. I used to have a purse fettish a long, long time ago.

Shoes..........Doc Martens all the way. Sandals, shoes, boots whatever and like [color=336600]DisneyDmbNut[/color] Ebay all the way. I don't buy used shoes, for clarification, but I do get the for several dollars cheaper than had in a store.

I'd like the slipper dessert too.

 

[cadburysmom]

I admit it, I'm a purse and shoe nut....got lots of both....

The purse I use right now is the martini purse but my second favorite is black with my monogram in big bright pink lettering. It's very striking......or so everyone says. I guess we're just a tad bit preppy down here in NC.

For the past few summers, I've been into Lily Pulitzer prints and of course, have two bags in really bright, summery designs......

I have no idea how many pairs of shoes I own and am too scared to count.....but I'm very good about packing for vacation.....I only take four pairs and one pair of tennis shoes....I do not count tennis shoes with the rest because they are for exercise, not for fun in my book!

My friend always takes an extra suitcase just to carry all her shoes so I'm very proud of myself!

 

[Danauk]

OOOh Lewski709 I love Doc martens too. I live in Northampton England, the home of the Doc Marten and have loads of pairs of them (although I did before I moved here.) I actually managed to get a few free pairs a few years ago straight from the factory! I was doing a project with my class at school about shoes and one of the classroom assistants brothers worked in the DM factory. We needed some shoes for our kids to base their designs on so we wrote to the DM factory. They sent us some shoes, mostly induviduals but a few pairs some of which luckily fitted me. So instead of these shoes going to the kids to decorate for their project we were able to use them. It worked out great, there were enough shoes for the kids to use and several staff got some free pairs!!!! Sadly the classroom assistants brother now has another job!

 

[Bichon Barb]

Um Lewski. I don't think your DH has anything to worry about with Huggabaloo. He's gay.

I hope he doesn't mind me saying that. I mean, it's not like he's hiding in a closet or anything.

Okay, ten minutes until SU beats Notre Dame!

Hi everyone!

I've been trying to keep away from the DIS due to some recent events but I must confess that I have been unable to do so. So, here I am asking to claim the color of Royal Blue = 4169E1 considering my nick here.

Is there room in the Tagliarchy for one more?

 

[DisneyDmbNut]

There is ALWAYS ROOM for one more..especially Fred!!! WOO HOO!! WE LOVE FRED!!!

 

[Bichon Barb]

So this is the infamous Fred!?!?! Welcome Majestic Fred. Pleased to meet ya.

Okay, folks, going downstairs to watch the game. I'll talk to ya later.
