Just like Mo said: “Good things are bound to happen…”

I just got accepted for a new job at a telecommunications comapny in Saginaw. I’m excited… I’ve been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and now it’s here! Things finally seem to be working out. I credit this all to my faith in God. He seems to be helping everything fall into place for me right now.

After the long job hunt, I have to say it just takes patience and diligence.

I recently got a job with the company that makes the signs for the Buick Open. There’s a lot of work to be done the next few weeks, setting everything up and cleaning up after it’s over. I’m kind of a temporary employee since it’s their busiest time of the year. If it stays busy enough after the Buick Open, I’ll be able to keep working for them.

It’s nice to be working somewhat in the design field. Even if it only turns out to be temporary work, I’ll get some good experience. We’ll see what happens!

So it’s a few days after the 4th of July and I’m not in Atlanta yet. Why? Well, I guess you could say I chickened out…

I decided I’d rather not risk a big move right now without having a job lined up. While moving to Atlanta would mean I’d live in an area with a better economic outlook, I’d be in the same situation as I would if I’d stay in Michigan. I’d be working a part-time job, looking for a “real” job. The only thing is, with a higher cost of living in Atlanta, I’d have a harder time paying the bills. It just seems to make more sense to stay here, at least for now.

I’d still like to move there sometime in the near future. My plan would be to either get a “real” job down there, or establish myself in web design, so I could move and attend SCAD-Atlanta. Time to make it happen!

I got back home from Atlanta last Wednesday. It was nice being there again. The weather was hot and real humid, but I hear that it was about the same in Michigan. While there I looked around for apartments and tried to get a grasp on what areas seemed nice to me. I’m planning to move to Atlanta sometime just before or just after the 4th of July. If I don’t have any job prospects before I move, I’m going to get a part-time job to make ends meet.

On a side note, I was able to watch the Pistons while I was gone, so that was good! I went to a bar in Decatur with my friend Matt to watch game 6 of the Conference Finals against the Miami Heat. I was glad that the Pistons dominate the game, but I was surprised how many people were actually cheering for Detroit. I felt like I was at some local bar in Michigan!!
