Got laid off today

If it comes through anyway. Albuquerque's about as a big of a city I'm willing to deal with anymore as far as living goes. Having had lived in SoCal from the ages of 3-29, I'm not willing to deal with that sort of hustle and bustle. When I talked to them originally, there seemed to be, and still is, a great chunk of openings up in the Denver metro for line-haul and P/D.
Had this been 2011 and I had the experience then, I would've jumped onto it while the rental markets were still reasonable. Now it's just bologna.

 

A little bit of the green stuff I suppose. But then there were alot of tech companies that put offices there as well. So the "richer Californians" in the tech sector decided to roll on in too. Boulder's a nice town, but at the same time, feels alot like a displaced, NoCal community. Us pooer, ex-Californian's seem to always be on the run from them.

As far as the UPS hiring goes, I know of another guy at IRT who had been there for five or so years. He quit back in August out of the blue to go back to Kentucky for a feeder position with them over there. The way I see it, if one stayed at least a year or more at some place and decides to drop the sails, they should be free to take off. Not like any of us signed a contract for a bonus or something.

 

Nah. Probably going to stick to NM or some other state that isn't getting hit as hard by others from my former state. At least around here, I usually run into mostly natives and maybe people from TX or OK. Whenever I'm up in CO, it's hard not to be having a conversation up there and having to duck out on the date when they're all like: "So I moved here from Santa Moni--" Me-"Time out, I got to hit the head" ** sneaks out back door, hops on Shadow and disappears**
That and the snow isn't as bad down here in eastern NM as it is up there. Slip n Slide Record's y'all!!!

But once I finish paying off my pickup truck note, I'm sure I'll be more open to a move.

 

I'll see what happens. Probably just end up staying out here and doing some 40-hour gig while living out in Harding or DeBaca counties. More cattle, prairie dogs, feral hogs, and ghosts of gunfighters/pioneers than there are living people.
Maybe even start up a greater NM/west TX urbex channel. Kind of like the Proper People and RnK doing all their back-east explores!!

 

Man you got laid off..? Sorry to here that man...
