Not very exotic, but...

Dallas Texas.

I am heading up there in a few minutes to go to a Very Important Job Interview. One that will TRIPLE my last wages. And improve my employee experience greatly in nearly every way.

I have gone through most of the background checks, just waiting on the FBI now. That should be okay too, as I hold a HazMat certification in addition to Doubles/Triples and Tanker certs. If all goes well and I pass the drug screening, medical checks and driving tests, then I can expect to be at work again by Monday the ninth. YAY!

Of course, I have been to Dallas many times. But the skyline still is one of my favorites. It's distinctive and colorful. It doesn't look cluttered. The traffic is another story but what big city doesn't have THAT problem? I know a few side roads that can take to get where I am going that avoid the major trouble spots.

I plan to be there for two or three days as I have a lot of paperwork to go through, interviews and tests. Plus a friend in Ft Worth with whom I plan to have brunch on Tuesday.

If this comes through, I will be moving up to Dallas area (a 600 mile commute will KILL me!) in short order. One stipulation is that I must live within 50 miles of the location. I have a friend who lives there and will let me live in his mailbox for a while, until I get my own place. But $1000 a week net will enable that within two months.

My wife is already spending that paycheck on a new bedroom set that comes with a $5000 price tag!
