Learning outside of class

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.
