For a variety of reasons which I will try to explain, I decided to quit my job in Texas, and accepted a new job in Huntsville, Alabama. I have worked for the jet engine testing equipment company for almost two years. It has had its frustrating moments, and one of those recurred just a few weeks ago. So I sent a text message to a friend who was starting a new job/project in Huntsville. I was venting more than anything else, but his response was overwhelming. He needed someone with my talents and was willing to pay for it. So within just a couple weeks, I was offered a position at a significant increase in pay. I accepted, and started in the new position just one day shy of three weeks of the first text message.
Reason #1: 60% increase in pay
Reason #2: Allows us to move back into our house in the Knoxville TN area.
Reason #3: Job requires contact with USAF to work on a flight test/qualification program
Reason #4: Leaving a politically charged situation behind, probably exchanging for a new one
We have put our house in Texas up for sale, and it will sell quickly, we hope. Once that happens, we will move our stuff back into the house in TN, and I will commute on the weekends. Since my new job requires some travel, my bride would have had to suffer my lack of presence anyway, at least now, she can have a bit more money to start the projects of which we both dreamed.
