Oh, bother

A management position opened up in our Colorado Springs office today. One that I am quite qualified for.

Now I must decide: just because I CAN do it, do I WANT to do it?

Piffle and snoot.

Family, roots. Plus, I love this state. I can't imagine living anywhere but in the shadow of Pikes Peak and the mountains; I can't imagine dying anywhere else.

Do you work for Lockheed or Raytheon or something?

[weaktwos.livejournal.com]

Nope...I work for the company that insures military personell and their familes...my office there is within view of pikes peak, and the academy.

I've visited there once. I did enjoy the natural surroundings. My coworker and I visited FoF because she's interested in it. I suppressed a gag.

Oh, er, Tricare?

My dad is retired army.

I have to suppress the urge to Molotov Cocktail that facility every time I drive by. >_>

Nay. United Services Automobile Association

[mountain-hiker.livejournal.com]

Ahhh!

Yeah, USAA has a huge building up north. Actually, that's not too far from where I work.

And what is your avocation?

[mountain-hiker.livejournal.com]

I'm a Financial Advisor.

Ah, very good. :0)

I'll tell you, though -- if you want to do it, now's the time. It seems like EVERY apartment complex in the city is offering move-in specials. The vacancy rate is very high right now because of the military (so many people are deployed right now). It's like everywhere I look, I see signs that read, "Live free for a year! Ask management how!" They have a lot of deals for having the first 3 months rent-free. Just a bunch of deals.

Search for some apartments here, to get an idea.

Thanks for the info. If I moved, I would probably buy a house there. In the event I applied and got the job I'm considering, I would get a move package enabling me to purchase a new home.

[mountain-hiker.livejournal.com]

Oh, that'd be cool. You can use realtor.com to get an idea of the home prices around here, too. The cost of living isn't nearly as high here as it is in CA, so you'll find that your dollars will take you a lot farther.

[weaktwos.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I have a small home here (1344sq ft) that's worth 232...I bought at 148.

[mountain-hiker.livejournal.com]

Man, my townhome is 1575 sq ft and I got it for $55K six years ago.

[weaktwos.livejournal.com]

Yes, this is the price I pay for living in california.
