WhiteAngel also known at WA User ID: 13752844 United States 02/18/2021 05:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Life here is at full stress levels. We are at a crossroads in our lives and major decisions needs to be made and neither of us want to make them. Quoting: WhiteAngel Mr. Angel was laid off from IBM during one of their mass lay-offs in Sept 2019. At that time he figured he would wait till after January 2020 to look for a new on, taking that time to do the things around the house that were needed and just enjoy a break from working two jobs all the time. BOY, did that turn out to be a wrong turn. In 3 months, he will start looking outside the state focusing on areas that have a UPS hub for the insurance unless the new job has good insurance benefits. Most likely in the DFW area. A major move would be a nightmare with all our stuff. Heck, we have a full big freezer full of meat that I hate thinking about transporting but We sure couldn't sell it either. We would likely need two large rental vans because we can't replace what we have once there. Yet this is what I WANT to do. I have family in Texas and no one at all here. Wouldn't likely need nightly oxygen there as they are 5000 feet lower than we are here in the Mile High City. Plus, maybe getting the daughter away from this state will help her We need prayers to have doors open for a job, either here or a new state - a place where we are meant to be. I've always felt there are places God wants us to be and I no longer feel Colorado is for us. Yes a big wall of text but I needed to vent and get that all out there, plus the prayer request! I would focus now on finding work, as that is the most important thing and that will determine the rest. There's no point in stressing about a move until you know you have to. If you really feel you would be happier elsewhere and would prefer to move, then that discussion should be had and decided upon first, so he can focus his job search in the locations where you're interested in living. He might want to look into headhunters to help him find a job, if he hasn't already. I'm talking professional headhunters, not employment agencies (although they could be good too). A lot of times headhunters are trying to fill jobs in different cities and some focus on certain professions or lines of work. I would recommend it if he's going to look outside of CO, because it's always a disadvantage when you're applying blind as an out of towner. He mentioned a professional headhunter. Said if we are going to have to move anyway, might as well get the best pay possible even though it will cost us up front. Been chatting with my sister (the one I have never met) and sil and both are telling me it would be so much cheaper to live there than here. My research shows the cost of living is less which is an added bonus. I think for the well being of my family, we need to move even though it will be a horrible ordeal. If we wait too long, we won't have the money to do anything Isaiah 5:20 KJV Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

My stress levels have been so high that I have been snatching a few cigarette smokes and I quit 3 years ago this coming July. Feels like EVERYTHING is falling apart.
