New job, new place to live, working on getting a new car. I’m extremely excited about all of this. This is a nice change from my miserable job search. I think last time everything was going this good I was in Russia.

Kinja'd!!!

So someone had posted a picture of a 944 and it got me wondering what happened to k-roll since I didn’t remember seeing him post in a while, and in finding his profile I came across this:

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Doesn’t look like he’s doing that good.

That’s like me saying I’m not going to get another BMW, we both know that’s a lie.

I wonder how many times this has been said over the course of human history.

I got my hat stuck on a blowfish once....then I realized when I said that it was likely the first time that sentence was ever uttered in the history of language.

This sounds like something President Trump would write. lol

Seriously though, congrats. Did you end up finding a place when you went on your search?

K-Roll posted a YT video 5 days ago, so I think he’s ok.

Yeah, checked out one place and was like I’ll take it. Two words: attached garage. The M3 will be very happy with its new accommodations.

Good to hear. I’m in a similar place myself, currently organising a nice little house with a driveway and starting a new job. Means some disposable income and living in a decent area of the country. Goodbye living with parents and retail work!

Moving out of the parents house is always a good thing, I was happy they were willing to let me live with them while I sorted out a new job though.

Nice.

See, I’ve spoiled myself. After living in my house with the one car garage the last seven years, now I want a larger one. Although truth be told I wanted a larger garage back then too but the house was a good deal.

Good for you, man. As someone who is in the middle of a miserable job search, I can’t even imagine the relief you feel once you finally find something.

I think last time everything was going this good I was in Russia.

I’d imagine that not too many people have ever said this.

Good to hear! I am back in Florida and happy with the new job, but there just seems to be something missing for me.

I am struggling over the failure of Maryland.

I’m coming up to a ver similar time. Graduation, get married 7 days later, going to live with the mother in law for a few months since she’s got a big house and just her living there, I interviewed this morning and then got a call on my way home that an accounting firm wanted a second interview... It’s starting to look good because even recently it was not. Just need to first domino getting an offer to start falling.

You unemployed or you not liking your current job? I was unemployed for 10 months, I understand how bad it is.

I bet not, but I was trying to think of the last time I was this good, and it had to be back then. That was almost 3 years ago.

I didn’t say it was an RC car. But I didn’t say it wasn’t an RC car either...

All I can say is, it’s an old American SUV...

Just a job that I don’t like and don’t get paid enough to deal with. Sounds like you had it worse though, good to hear that you’re out of that shit.

My old job made me miserable. Some of my friends made a comment on how negative I’d become. You gotta let it go or it’ll get to you.

Congrats on the accomplishment. Will you be keeping the M3 or replacing it with the new wheels?

It seems to happen really fast. It’s been 3 weeks since I had an interview for this and I’ve already got a completely new life planned. I knew it was going to happen this way, super fast. I’m sure you’ll get something soon, best of luck to you.

Keeping the M3, I mean I might as well as it’s paid for, going to be getting a second car as the DD.

I’ll write a post up when everything starts falling into place. The goal is to buy a house in 2 years or so... which means... no new car for me until then.

Yeah I am aware. It has been difficult. It was a 17 year journey. It was the pinnacle of my profession. I realize I can’t achieve the pinnacle again and it is totally taking the wind out of my self esteem.

I trained, worked hard, sacrificed and learned everything I could to get there...and when I got there...it wasn’t to be. Now I am back down the mountain wondering if I am ok here or is this too small for me? Maybe I need a new profession...though did I just waste 2 decades to learn this? Perhaps that is the lesson?

Currently I feel like a McLaren mechanic who just arrived at a GMC dealer.

I feel you, I don’t know what to tell you. I know I just took a $50k+ paycut, that kinda had me down, but the quality of life here is going to be so much better. I had to change fields and start at the bottom, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. It sounded like you were miserable in your old job and it sounds like your quality of life is better. I don’t know what else to tell you. It’s easy to focus on the negative, but the positives are what matter.

Moving to just outside Savannah, pooler to be exact. My sister lives downtown Savannah so I have a place to crash if need be.

Potential new DD, would make a good 128 replacement.
