Hey all, I haven't checked in for awhile. All kinds of new faces, well monikers anyway. Not too many are familiar anymore.
Looks like my family and I may have the opportunity to move from Wisconsin to Arizona after all. I have an interview in Bisbee, AZ coming up in February, and my wife has pretty much her pick of jobs teaching in the special ed field down there. Bisbee wouldn't be too far from my dad, who moved back to New Mexico years ago. On the other hand, I may have the opportunity to pick up a training cooridinator position, traveling around the state training DAAT to our various regions. I would stay working out of the same office I'm in now, which would be nice. The stipends are nice, from I hear, and I could take the Bus during the warmer months, otherwise I get my own car...I think...
I don't know which way to go. My two girls that are in school don't want to leave, and to be honest, the school is awesome. Our neighborhood is nice and mostly quiet, I'm secure in the job I have, my wife could get a job in one of the local schools easy...but I'm friggin' bored! I need something new, something in the same field, yet slightly different, and I miss the desert: the smells, the heat, being able to ride pretty much year round without having to put on umpteen layers to stay warm and avoid frost bite...and possibly death
I'm thinking of sticking around if I am able to take the DAAT Coordinator position. Maybe traveling the state and training would be that "something slightly different" that I need.
Advice, anyone? I can't trust my partner or the other fellas for advice...they all want me to stay and give skewed advice.
I dunno. Just thought I'd post up with what's been going on.
Hope everyone's been well.
