Wandering

I’m not entirely certain why, but this week has been particularly tough for some reason. I think that all the uncertainty swirling around is starting to get to me. It isn’t even uncertainty relating to me really because our situation is the same as it has been since I accepted the job offer in San Francisco. We’re still waiting until we can begin a serious housing search (it still amazes me that six weeks out is “way too early to begin looking”). Although the move is become more real, when I actually try to picture us living in California it still seems bizarre. It’s silly, but even the notion of not having to drive to work seems so surreal.

I guess the BIG news this week was a potential job offer my parents are exploring in Denver. I love Denver and have always said that if it wasn’t for their professional sports franchises being the sports equivalent of the anti-christ (local sports teams are definitely something to be considered when selecting where to live in case you were wondering), then it would be a perfect city for me. I really hope the company makes my dad an offer, but I also hope that they are able to make the decision on their own terms. The development/project management job market is terrible right now. In an ideal world, my dad would get another offer from a local company and would choose between the two – they still might pick the Denver offer because it sounds like a great fit for him, but it would definitely be nice to have options.

Susie and I went to a movie with our friend Rachel last night. I think it’s fair that I call her our friend now because I think she’s awesome. We saw Angelina Jolie’s new film “Wanted,” which was exactly what I thought it would be – an inventive action film with terrible acting, writing, directing, and just about everything else. All in all, I found it pretty entertaining, but it was probably 45 minutes too long.

Work update: things are going well. I’ll be in Houston next Thursday and Friday for BMC’s Q1 earnings. It will be a good chance for me to get a little face-to-face time with clients before the move. I’m hoping that there will be opportunities for me to work with some of the west coast BMCers after the move, but I’m not sure how that is going to work out.
