So, pending a surprise in my background check, I am starting as a Plant Manager in Louisville, Kentucky on Thursday, February 17. My last day of work in Vista, California is this Tuesday. I fly to Kentucky on Wednesday.
In anticipation of some questions:
- Different company? No. Same company. The job is a promotion.
- How do I feel? Super excited. Looking forward to the opportunity and new experiences.
- Am I packed? Not yet. For this first phase, I'm only bringing clothes, some books, and my Mac. I won't pack up the condo until I know where I'm living.
- Where will I live? Someplace in Louisville. I found a neighborhood I like - the "artsy" section of Louisville called Highlands. There is a street there named Bardstown Road and even a pub called The Bard's Pub - Got to love it! I am seeing 2nd floor duplex this coming Saturday which is in the neighborhood - fingers crossed! :o)
- What about my car? Balding Civic (204K miles) is going to be hauled across country. I expect a new car will be needed at some point this year, but I'm hoping my Honda has a another few thousand miles in it!
- Who will move me? I received a relocation package. Movers to move my stuff are part of the deal.
- Is my e-mail going to change AGAIN? Nope!. Thank goodness for gmail, which doesn't care where you live.
- Any ideas for church? Yep. I actually visited one when I went out to interview. I'm hoping it will be a new community for me to be a part of.
- Isn't this quick? ABSOLUTELY. Corporate contacted me on January 17 to be see if I'd be interested. Interviewed on January 31. Accepted job on January 31. Starting on February 17.
- What will I miss? Real Mexican food, family, friends, The Fields (my church), and 70 degree weather in February.
