I got a job.
A real job this time. It's a bit of a lengthy story, so I'll just cut through the chase. I will be starting up over at OPUBCO shortly (which I'm pretty sure I'm Mr. Jacob Sullivan's replacement). Hopefully I can start when I arrive to OKC, but it's mostly based on when my background check and drug test gets cleared.
There has been a lot of mixed feelings about my triumph return back to the greater OKC area. I've very grateful and anxious to get this opportunity to work over there. But at the same time, I'm just dreaded the extreme temperatures and utter boredom which Oklahoma brings me. It will be nice to be financially stable again (after I can get settled), but I'm severely bummed that I won't be able to enjoy all the finer things up here that I would have liked to go to. All I can do is try to take full advantage of this opportunity, see some familiar faces and try to reconstruct a creative stream that will keep myself from getting stagnant. I have been a bit scared that my flow of photography will dissipate, but I suppose that will just force me to venture and try to explore other areas. Oklahoma City just isn't as textured as Seattle. So we'll see how that goes.
Here are updates concerning the adventures back:
Aug 11: Depart from Seattle after packing the last of things slash our mattresses. Arrive in Boise
Aug 12: Drive, Drive. Arrive in Moab, UT
Aug 13: Drive, Drive. Arrive in Tucumcari, NM
Aug 14: Drive. Arrive in Altus
Aug 15: Partytime. and by party, I mean, make the usual rounds in A-town.....which means, hang with family, go to Wal-Mart, Hastings, ......well, that's it.
Aug 16: Take Lindsay to Weatherford then head to OKC.
Aug 17: Maybe work, dates are still tentative, but either way, I should be around Oklahoma City this day. and from then on...
I am also looking for a place to live, preferable in the Mesta Park/Paseo area-ish, so if anyone knows anyone that knows anyone that knows of a place. Fill me in. Probably sometime at the end of August/Early September. Also, if you want to hang out, let me know, so I can pencil you in. I'd love to see your face.
