Today's been a whirlwind...

[lizziegrace]

My resume is being presented to 4 different employers in Milwaukee. A fifth called me directly for a phone interview on Friday. Graywarrior and I have exchanged PMs about the joys of driving a 26' UHaul while towing a car. ;)

And all this happened this morning. :wow:

I've needed to leave Ohio for a long, long time. The universe gave me a reason to when I was laid off.

So all of you in the Milwaukee area, watch out. ;)

Everyone, please keep me and Lelapin in your thoughts and prayers and send vibes. I'm *this close* to starting over - finally.

[pleah]

1. I wish you all the luck in the world!

:hi:

[lizziegrace]

2. Thank you...

:)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. My dear lizziegrace!

I've had you in my thoughts every day for awhile now...

I"m praying to whatever gods may be that you will get the good chance you've deserved for so long!

Our mutual friend asks often about you, and I'm keeping him updated...

This is such excellent news!

:woohoo: :woohoo:

[lizziegrace]

4. I'm almost afraid to say anything

I might jinx it all.

Tell our friend hello for me.


:)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. I understand that!

Will do!

:hug:

[RetroLounge]

5. Damn, I better unlist my number

and move without a forwarding address.

Now they let just anybody in this state? :shrug: Sheesh.

Badgers eat buckeyes for breakfast...

Buckeyes are poisonous.

Badgers might eat them, but, they die...

I even found out I can become a CPA in your state without any additional education. :)

[RetroLounge]

14. Cool!

I already am one!

(A Cynical Pretentious A**hole)

Oh, you meant that accounting thing?

He and his wife are expecting a baby in August so we are planning lots of visits.

I wish the same for you. :)

[KitchenWitch]

21. I am sending good vibes for a fresh start to you!

:hug:

I am glad you are taking the opportunity.

[lizziegrace]

24. Yep

it's time to stop being stubborn and insisting I can make a life here. :)

[TZ]

22. Good luck with your transition

I can only imagine how hard it is for you. I think Ohio is losing one of its good people...:hug:

[lizziegrace]

25. I can honestly say

I'm terrified and excited at the same time. x( :)

[Whoa_Nelly]

26. Wishing you all the luck, love and support in the world

You will make it! :hug:

Just watch out for these guys!

[lizziegrace]

30. Hehe...

I'll see if the Fonz can take care of those two fools. ;)

[SPKrazy]

27. Lettuce Spray, I mean Let Us Pray

for good things for you Lizzie!

:hug: :hug:

:woohoo:

:toast: to a new start

and new beginnings!

:hug:

[lizziegrace]

31. Yes!

:toast:

[Madrone]

28. YAY!

I'm a firm believer in things working out for the best ... but it's hard not to stress out when you don't know exactly where you're headed or what you're going to do. And I've been stressing for you too - behind the scenes.

I'm SO glad there's some motion - best of luck to you. You deserve it more than most people I know! *HUG*

Anything I can do to help, let me know. Even if you don't *think* it's anything I could help with - just ask. You never know! ;)

[lizziegrace]

32. ...

you've been one of my biggest cheerleaders and I thank you. :hug:

[Gormy Cuss]

29. Fingers crossed, toes crossed, eyes crossed.

Safe journey to Milwaukee and best of luck with the job search.

[lizziegrace]

33. Careful...

toes crossed and eyes crossed lead to bodily harm. (That is if you're as graceful as me...)

:)

[WCGreen]

34. Good luck...

I'd like to get the hell out of here too...

[lizziegrace]

35. I knowyou would

:hug:

Thank you.

[Critters2]

36. I wish you all the best.

Milwaukee's a good city. My dad lives in the 'burbs, and won't leave, even though his sister and cousins keep begging him to retire to Florida with them. He loves Milwaukee! And he doesn't even know Retrolounge!

Enjoy your new life!

[lizziegrace]

37. If your dad likes bookstores

he's GOT to check out Xenith Booksellers. :)

Thank you for the good wishes. I hope things in your world settle down a bit, but I'm afraid it comes with the territory. There's always some kind of upheaval at the church I attend. But, being a member means I can walk away from the insanity and come back next week...

:hug:

[NMDemDist2]

38. wonderful news lizzie

and Milwaukee huh??

could there be a book store in your future too??

:hide:

[RFKHumphreyObama]

39. Will do Lizziegrace

The very best. I hope and pray that this new start will be everything you hoped for and much, much more. All the best of luck in the world:hug:

[Callalily]

40. Wishing you all

the best lizziegrace. I'm sure everything will fall into place.

But I don't envy you driving that u-haul. You're one brave girl!

Oh, and welcome to Wisconsin!

:hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

41. Good luck lizziegrace...

I am sorry we didn't get a chance to meet while you were close.

[ThomCat]

42. I hope that whirlwind puts you down gently

in a very good place. :hug:

[joneschick]

43. I'm working the Milwaukee vibes for ya!

I figured I would just coat the city with positive Lizzigrace vibes and it would all work out! I'm looking forward to meeting you (if I ever make it to anothe meetup myself) :hi:

[lizziegrace]

47. Thank you!

I'm hoping for the "George Bailey" effect. My name is heard so many times that something good will happen just to quiet the noise. ;-) And an angel named Clarence would be a bonus.

[SallyMander]

44. Ohio will miss you!

Well at least, certain people in Ohio will miss you! :loveya:

But you deserve all the best, sweetie, and i'm so happy this is going to work out for you! :hug:

[LynzM]

45. Ooh, good interview vibes coming your way!!

I've never had reason to want to visit Milwaukee, but maybe I'll have to put it on the list, now... :D :hi:

[av8rdave]

46. Wow! Big changes coming up...hope they're all for the best!

[Parche]

48. You Will Survive

Someone as smart as you!!!

Good Luck, Hope you get what you want


:woohoo:

:hug:

[lizziegrace]

49. Tell me about that plane

my father could tell me the make, model and the engine manufacturer. And he used to but I didn't really pay attention... ;)

Thanks you Parche. :hug:

[Parche]

53. Its A

Continental 757 Looks like 300 series with winglets
Engines are Rolls Royce RB..........

:woohoo: :hi:

[Dangerously Amused]

50. Sista!

:hug: :bounce:


:7

[lizziegrace]

51. Hey you!!

:hug:

Thank you for everything. :)

[dolo amber]

52. All the cool kids move from Ohio to Milwaukee

;)

Congrats, it's about time you had some good news. Post in the WI forum when you're all settled, first pitcher's on me. :D :toast:

[InternalDialogue]

54. Lizzie!

I was just going to PM you and see how you were doing. I guess stopping by the Lounge made good sense.

You've got all my best wishes, and I really hope I might get a chance to meet you this year -- I'll probably be taking a trip through Chicago and Indy on my way to DC. I guess Milwaukee wouldn't be out of the question...

:hug:

[lizziegrace]

56. Yay!!

Just let me know when.

:hug:

[VenusRising]

55. Anything you need while you're still here...

I'm just down the road!

All the best vibes and love heading to you and lelapin.

:hug::loveya:

[grannylib]

57. Oh, I hope you like it! And Wisconsin! We'll be neighbors *lol*

I'm in Minnesota.
Best of luck to you as you settle in to a new life! :-)

[Haole Girl]

58. Sending thoughts, prayers, and good vibes

..for you and Lelapin. :hug:

[Flaxbee]

59. All my very best to you, lizziegrace!

Starting over can be overwhelming and incredibly liberating. I'm on the verge of a few major changes myself, and think I know some of what you might be feeling, so here's to solidarity and success! :hug: and :thumbsup:

[Serial Mom]

60. Hope to welcome you - good luck!

:hi:

[Phentex]

61. Best of luck to you!

I'm sure it will all work out for you. :)

[lizziegrace]

62. Phone interview in an hour...

:scared:

I'm doing some research on the place...

Thank you all for the good thoughts. Big changes are terrifying and exciting. Leaving is always sad. I'm looking forward to the stuff in between...life.

:hug:

[joneschick]

63. well?

are you off the phone? how did it go? PM me for local research? well? well? :hi:

[lizziegrace]

64. Just got off the phone

I have an interview on-site on Friday the 9th in the afternoon. Maybe we can convince some people to get together for a meetup??

:)

[PeaceNikki]

65. For sure!! Post in WI forum!!

Good luck!!

:bounce:

[Magrittes Pipe]

66. Meeting up? On a Friday? I dunno about that....

Some of us might want to take it easy on the weekend.






:rofl:


Hells yeah, we're gonna have a bash! :toast: :bounce:

[lizziegrace]

67. Hey!

Retro's busy most of the weekend. I was thinking because of the interviews and all that maybe we could meetup after I move up there. More time to relax.

[Magrittes Pipe]

68. Bah.

Who needs Retro, anyway? ;)

[lizziegrace]

69. Stay tuned...

Friday's a week away yet. ;)

We still may be able to get together.

[PeaceNikki]

I'm rooting for you too.
