I talked to a friend of mine who works in Tampa, he’s going to talk to his boss to see if they have any openings.

To be honest, I hope they do. The job isn’t game related, and the pay is going to be about the same, but Tampa is a lot closer to my hometown (1.45 hours) than Panama City (6 – 8 hours).

I don’t really fit in here at Panama City anyways. There are no gamers anywhere. At least that I can find. I’m sure they’re here, just underground.

Panama City is famous for the largest nightclub in America and the MTV Spring Break shit, but all I hear is people and more people, both of which are really big turn offs.

I definitely think I’ll be leaving this town.

I feel bad for my job because I know they’re probably expecting me to stay when they offer the position to me. Steady good pay, health insurance, vacation and sick time…

But fuck this place. I’ll be bailing when my contract is up.

I don’t want to hurt their feelings though, so I’ll be doing that as tactfully as possible.

If I get this job in Tampa, I want my own place. No room mates at all. Just me.

However, that means I’m going to need furniture. The only furniture I own is my computer desk at the moment. I don’t even own a bed.

I’m not going to make too many plans. My friend could very well get back to me tomorrow to tell me there are no new jobs there.

I’ve been researching all the things I want to do. I want to invest in some stocks, but I want to save up $15,000 to do that with.

I want to get Bosley hair transplant surgery, but that costs $10,000-$12,000 and I’d need at least 1 – 2 weeks off of work.

(Bonus to that: I’d have to have some kind of pain killers prescribed… maybe some Percocets? I loved those things)

I need to get my teeth fixed, that will cost probably $2,000 – $3,000 depending on how much work will have to be done.

I can afford any one of those things right now.

The problem is… now I don’t want to spend the money. lol. I’m just holding on to it. Realistically I know I should do the dentist first. It’s the cheapest and arguably the most important. The hair is a vanity issue to other people (though important to me) and the stocks will help me get money, but I need to take care of my health first.

For the most part I cut back heavily on my sugar consumption. I drink this delicious Crystal Lite sugar free Raspberry drink. It’s amazing.

I think I will go to the dentist once I find my next job and get settled in wherever it is. No more putting that off.

I guess that means I have to get some insurance. I fucking hate insurance companies. Pay money to companies that have no intentions of helping me out when I need them. Waste of money.

This is how I view insurance companies:

HE IS GETTING MUGGED
Well let’s hope we don’t cover him!

Anyone know any good insurance companies that wont pull a pornography on me and fuck me in the ass?

I know things probably wont be very different if I were to get to Tampa. I still probably wont have many (if any) friends to hang out with. I’ll still probably spend a lot of time by myself. I’ll probably still be depressed.

BUT, my sister Pam and my nephew Chance would be less than 20 minutes away. My hometown would be less than 2 hours away. If I want to hang out with my friends in my hometown, I could just drive down on a Friday after work, and come back up Sunday evening.

I just think, even though I might not like the job as much, I would feel more at home, closer to my hometown and siblings. My little sister April is in my hometown, so she and my niece would be within that 2 hour time frame.

Plus there’s always the feeling of a fresh start when you first move somewhere. I miss that feeling. I need a fresh start.
