The biggest thing I’m learning this week is that I just can’t
do it all. As I have mentioned before I
found out a couple months ago that I was losing my job and had to find another
one, hopefully within the same company, but it may not be in the same location
and certainly not what I was doing now.
I was lucky enough to get a promotion, one that I’ve been wanting for
quite some time. With that though, I
have to move my family across the country this semester from Washington State
to Georgia. We have to sell our house,
which of course means we have to get it ready to sell first. We have to then decide where we want to live,
do a house hunting trip and make the move.
It’s a lot to be done before Christmas which is two months away.
It has been fascinating to me to watch so many different
types of business and how they work through this process. We’re lucky enough to be working with a
relocation company who is taking care of a lot of the behind the scenes stuff
for us. We’ve met with two real estate
agents on this side, a Pest Inspector and talked with a household goods moving
company, an auto mover and a real estate person on the other side. All this was after working with upper management
in the location I’ll be moving.
While I’ve failed miserably at getting my homework done the
past few weeks, I’ve been watching, asking questions and learning from these
many different business people, some entrepreneurs and some corporate employees. I’m blessed to go through this opportunity
and hopefully I’ll find out a way to get my homework done so I can pass this
class as well.
