Update:
I was offered the possibility of my old job relocating from Florida to
Hemet Ca.

https://www.hayabusa.org/forum/random-thoughts/114304-possible-relocation-hemet-california.html

Well after a couple weeks of going back and forth in my head, I got to make
a trip to So Cal. We flew into San Diego and drove to Hemet.

We rode up to Idyllwild (that's fantastic) and looked for housing in Temecula.
Had a face to face interview Monday (went great) and everything looked great.
We traveled back to florida tue. and the GM said he would get with corp.
and talk to me wednesday (today) for the final offer.

We were blown over by So Cali and the oppurtinity was more than I could pass
up...I was just waiting for the call today for the final $$.

I get the call...the guy in my position....changed...his...mind.
Moving was more than he anticipated...and asked if it
was not to late to keep his job. :banghead:

I was told even though I appear to be stronger in many areas, out of loyalty
he was going to be retained and just like that...the door closed.

Ya know the thing is, I always say God watches out for me...over and over
again. That particular morning (my job being in the toilet) and me losing sleep
looking at the ceiling, I ask..."What...what am I supposed to do, I need help,
I need guidence...you (GOD) have to show me what to do." 3 hours later, the
phone rings, the door opens and they ask me to go to Cali...and every door after that opens as
I approach it. Then...at the last minute as I am about to reach for it...every
door slams shut...It seems almost beyond cruel. It was not ment to be...why even
begin...difficult to keep a chin up...it really is.

Sorry if you were looking forward to the move. But maybe it woulda been less headache. Difficult to "see" when doors close. But you were right when you said What's meant to be is meant to be. You know?

Don't think of it as a door slammed. You just showed your company that you are a loyal, valuable and flexiable employee!!!!! Keep talking to God he is listening, just make sure you are too. :) :thumbsup:

Sorry it didn't go as planned,but it's nice to see the word "Loyalty" and "Job" still exists in some places.

Some think things happen for a reason(I don't),so something good might come out of it. "Blessing in disguise!"

Florida pretty much sucks. I'm in Port Saint Lucie. Jobs were a dime a dozen 2000-2008 and then... I'm a land surveyor and work is getting pretty thin. The company I work for has laid off whole departments. All that's left are the senior office personnel and us crew chiefs. I'm so lucky to have my job. In spite of this situation, I made the choice to buy a 2009 busa. I'm happy. Gotta keep it positive. EVERYTHING happens for a reason. I say "at the end of the day Dan will be OK". Keep ya head up and quicha *****in, life goes on. :thumbsup: :beerchug: :thumbsup:

Those are not doors slamming, they are His mighty hands directing you. He will put you where he needs you and where you need to be. It seems right now he needs you where you are, with family.
Remember this, Adversity is a test only you can pass. Nothing I or anyone else can do except pray for you, and that is where the real changes and direction will come.
Just me and my 2cts.
Godspeed to you Brother

I understand how you feel. At times you think nothing is going right and there is no hope. But as you said in your post, doors open and sometimes slam shut. You keep asking for God to show you the way, if you are sincere, quit looking on your own so hard and keep an open mind, He will show you the way. I know my words may not mean much, but literally, take each day as it comes. You choose how to feel each morning. We can choose to feel defeated or we can choose to keep trying and keep a smile on our face. Is it hard, yes it is. But nothing in life worth having comes easy. I know you are trying, but never give up, dont quit believing. Things will work out. :beerchug:

Well said!
It seems the hardest thing to do is to release all your worries and hand them to him and let him take them from your shoulders, but when you do peace takes their place and he takes over from there.
I know this to be true.

Yup... this covers it. This tells you someting very important about your company. You learned from it and that's a good thing. Hold on... K (with a "K") works.

God has plans for you.


Wow, the general consenus here seems to be "if things dont work out, blame god". How about .... things just didnt work out, stay positive and hope for the best. Things are what you make of them, but they dont always work out the way you want. So take a step back , and make a new plan, dont count on "the mystical hands of whomever" to make your dreams come true dude, its up to you.

Other opportunities, brother.

That said, I'm glad you got to come check it out and see for yourself why so many people love it here...now you know where you need to be and can work toward getting here.

When you need help moving in (when you DO get here), we'll still be here; ready, willing, and able.
