So I got a job offer today....

thirdgenlxi · 07-13-2009, 10:30 PM

.... In Colorado, near Denver. I talked to the guy for awhile and he really seemed interested! He was asking me how soon I could come out there. It's at a Ford place out there, diesel tech so I'd be doing the same as I was before. I told him what I was making here, and he said that's actually really low out there, so I'd be in for a pay raise as well. He said their shop is so busy they actually need to hire 2 or 3 diesel techs, so that's good to hear!

I told the guy I had a few applications in here locally and wanted to wait a week or so to see if I hear back from any of them, but if I can't land anything within the next couple of weeks I'm gonna have no choice but to move.

Luckily I have a really cool landlord, and she said if I wanted to I could leave most of my stuff here at the house, go out there for a couple months with just the bare necessities, and if it doesn't work out then I'm welcome to come back. Or if it does work out, just come back at a later date and pick the rest of it up. She'll also watch after my dog too so I don't have to worry about finding a place right away that allows pets

Kinda looking like my best option right now..... thoughts?? Think I can move semi-cross country on the $100 I have?? That'll be a fun one to try and figure out how to do, hahah

For those unfamiliar with my present situation.... I got laid off back in November, got another job in January but it ended up not working out (long story), and I had to leave there in early June. Unemployment screwed be over (I really should have let them fire me... again, long story), so as of now I have had zero income for the past month. Can't seem to find anything locally, sooooo see above...

I used to live there, what is the address? I'll tell you whether it sucks or not, lol

Good luck either way man. The Denver area has some awesome riding and is beautiful in the summer. I don't like cold winters so I don't think I'd want to live there but visiting is sweet

It's Burt Ford in Englewood, or maybe just south of

I'd have to find a place to live... haven't gotten quite that far yet, lol

Burt Ford is a pretty large, respected dealer. And Englewood is a fairly decent area.

If I were you I would try to live near Washington Park, Cherry Creek, Speer, or Capital Hill. That way you'd be close to downtown Denver so you could go out & shit. Englewood is OK but it's basically just a suburb so it's not all that exciting.

Only problem with Denver is that in the summer it gets kinda hot IMO, and there's often alot of dust in the air. Also there ain't much in the way of trees until you get into the mountains.

Or you can just commute there everyday from GA, it would cut down on your riding a bit, but I'm sure you can deal with that
