Topic: Can I Get a Happy Send Off | |
---|---|
I did it - I found a great new job with a company I have been interested in for awhile!! But it requires a move! So I am moving to the big city. I'm really excited but a little nervous too!
I'll take comments from well wishers and advice from those who reside in larger urban areas! Danke/Bitte! Oh, and should I go on vacation for a few days, or should I bust my butt and have everything packed a day ahead of the move date? |

Congrats on landing the new job! Change can be both exciting and scary at the same time but definitely worth it in the long run.
I live in a small town so I don't have any big city advice other then keep your doors locked. As for a vacation I think you should definitely do it. Use this time to unwind and enjoy yourself before you start out on your new adventure. I wish you all the best! |

Pack early! It'll be a lot less stress.
And, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! |

First off Congrats on the new job!!!
Secondly, pack non-essentals for a day or so, then take that well deserved vacation. That way you can come back refreshed for the big move. |

THanks! |

Once you get there and are unpacked enough to get by, go find a neighborhood pub and unwind a tad. Get to know the locals which are there even in the big city. When I moved to Glasgow, I lived a few floors over the cutest, poshest, most out of the way pub ever, and I always said, 'ill go there real soon' ...but I never got around to it! One of my big regrets. I live in a swell small town now with hills and open sky and mini-zebu, ponies, goats etc a short walk away. No cute, posh, out of the way pub. Congrats! and Have a grand adventure! yes, once I learn the area I plan to move into the country also, but I think being in the city awhile will make it easier to meet people in a new town - ans keep me close to work, allow me time to learn the area & decide where to put down roots - so to speak thanks for the pub advice - I love the way we can learn from each other's mistakes on here! IDK that women going into bars alone is as readily accepted in the US - we do not have pubs in the same sense that you do |

Oh this is wonderful news! Congratulations!
Make it a half and half-Take half a day and do something relaxing (like going to a movie or something) and the other half packing... getting a little jump on things will make it less stressful! |
