new adventures

Moving continued….

Published on

I’m trying my hardest to think of posts and it’s really not coming to me! My entire life is being consumed with moving, which I’m sure is normal, but Exhausting. There are some interesting things about moving to NYC that I’ve noted and that make it both extra exciting as well as extra stressful.

Firstly everything in NY moves fast. Really fast. You want a job… don’t look until 2 weeks before. You want an apartment… well first you need a job then you don’t need to contact me until 2 weeks before!!! Ok so this is encouraging in one sense. There are IA jobs up there, or so I’m told anyway… I’m trying to trust, and because of the demand there are plenty of opportunities. However, I’M UNEMPLOYED IN TWO WEEKS HERE PEOPLE!!!!

So no job and no apartment aside I think I’m doing well. I’ve got the mover booked, the furniture sold (thanks Christina!), the dog looked after, all and all things are looking up!!

I think I can actually do this!!!!!

NYC Here I Come!

On Thursday I let my management know that I would be leaving San Antonio to move to NYC in May. What a Relief! However, it’s finally hitting me that I’m really doing it. I’m really picking up my life and moving across the country… again. On an interaction design note, I’m getting to deal with all walks of life right now and critiquing all of the processes and procedures and of course customer service. Everything from finding a moving company to switching my auto and renters insurance. It’s already an adventure and I haven’t even started moving yet. BTW one moving quote estimator actually brought his own wireless device and printer and gave me a quote within the hour… nicely done!

So here I go again. It’s official. Back to the hustle and bustle of the Northeast. I’m sure I’ll have plenty of more run ins along the way and don’t worry I’ll bring you right along with me!
