Today I’m in a waiting mode. I’ll be hearing back on the position in Phoenix. Received an e-mail from the manager yesterday afternoon letting me know I’d hear about a decision today.
Which way will it go? I don’t know. I’m one of 3 people he was interested in for the position. I know I’m capable of doing the job, and within a few months I’d find it easy. It’s settling into a new role that’s always daunting.
Finding a new position goes well beyond paying the bills, having medical coverage, and allowing me to remain in AZ. It means a lot more to me.
August of 2004 I wrapped up my contract with US Cellular. That was my last time in a switch building. The end of 04′ I began experiencing severe dizzy spells, and the rest of the stuff that followed. Spring of 05′ I was such a wreck I turned down another contract with US Cell. Why? I could barely drive, sit up straight without pain, etc.
Finding something now is very important to me. My confidence was shaken by 05 - 06. 07′ is the year to get back on the horse and really resume life. Yes, I’m hanging a lot of importance on finding a new role. Anyone else who has experienced a few lost years will understand why it’s so important.
There’s a high probability it won’t be me. The group’s concern was that I would become bored in time. I’ve always had my hands in many projects, many system builds, etc. So they worried I’d leave in a year or two looking to be promoted. I get their concern. We’ll just have to see.
Well, off to move the trailer this morning. Have to relocate sites once more.

ohhh it’s hard to wait isn’t it? I know how it is to have your confidence shaken, and I hope you find whatever it is that you need to feel stable and useful to your part of the world again…
Until then, I have every part of me crossed that will cross for you to get exactly what you need
Thanks for the well wishes.
Think you typo’d a bit there.
It may seem trite and banal, but whatever will be will be. If you are meant to be in this job and begin a new chapter of your life, it will happen. If this is not intended, it won’t, and probably it is best that it didn’t. Perhaps there is a better offer lurking just a few days away. Perhaps you will hear positively about the job in Prescott. Accentuate the positive as the song lyric goes!
Good luck, Rich! Stay positive!
Thanks all.
I’d really like something here in Prescott. How nice would it be to finish up work for a day then walk out into the Dells for a little climb? Can’t do that in Phoenix.
So, we’ll see……
