Incredible job offer

but unfortunately it is hours away from my home and boyfriend and we are supposed to be moving into our new house. But it is my dream job.... what to do, what to do? The alcohol is not helping me think clearly about what I want to do.

 

Go for the dream job! Why can't you just move there, instead? NEVER let go of your dream!

 

well, live it up tonight and then worry about this issue tomorrow when you're sober.

what's the job?

 

Working for the Forest Service doing rare plant surveys. So, working all day in the mountains looking at plants... everything I want!

We can't really move up there because we just put a down payment on a house here. But I guess a little separation wouldn't kill us. I mean, there are absolutely no jobs here.

 

well, there are ways to get out of a recently purchased house if you both decide to move. i have no idea what they are, but i know they exist.

my advice is to take the job and make it work somehow. but i also suggest you think it over for a few days (assuming that's an option) before making any decision on it.

 

buy an airplane. or build one, whichever you can afford.

 

Yeah, thinking it over is good. It would suck to change the house plan though because it is on acreage with room to "grow" if you know what I mean. But I want to do something more meaningful with my life to be totally honest.

 

i think in texas you have a 3-day window. after that its nearly impossible, unless of course you can find problems that the realtor neglected to tell you about.

don't know about california but i imagine its a lot more lenient/liberal....

 

It's not with a realtor or anything... just a couple of hippies exchanging money under the table.

 

i don't even mean backing out necessarily, but i'm sure if they put it up for sale someone else would be willing to pay at least close to what they paid for it, so they would come out even on that house and still have approximately what they were going to spend on this house to spend on a house in the new location.

 

no contracts signed? might be fucked, then.... unless you can convince them to trade back, but that doesn't really seem to happen in this world.

 

i thought about that too, but she said they had only made a down payment which means they don't own the house yet and the money wouldn't be theirs. if it was resold it would likely be for less, especially in cali, and they would still owe somebody money.

 

yeah, it likely wouldn't be perfect, but a bit of a loss in order to get your foot in the door for your "dream job" seems like it would probably be worth it.

 

totally.

 

I agree.

 

never deal in cash with hippies

 

But then I would be ruining Charles' dream job, and I am the sacrificing type.

 

But I am a hippie too

 

Somebody's going to lose....


Maybe. Sometimes I think everything happens for a reason.

 

So true. My school is down here as well and it might be nice to finish that. Or maybe I'll just continue to get drunk and take mushrooms
