Radio Paradise

I received a notice in the mail saying I am on an eligibility list for a city job to which I applied. It said "when I'm being considered" they'll contact me directly.

I'm not sure if this means that I'll get an interview, or just go into a pool that they'll choose from one day.

In any event, it's the first "nibble" I've gotten in two months, and I am very much encouraged. {#Good-vibes}

awesome.

if you really want to make an impression, feel free to use RadioParadise as a reference {#Lol}

The bad thing is my house appraises now for $45k less than it did this time last year and AFTER I just did all the work to it like the new kitchen. I will just break even at my asking price with little or no walk away money at all but it will be worth it not to have this financial stress anymore and I can eventually get myself into something I can hopefully afford next...

good news

I was just going to say the same for my Dad's house. Thank goodness. I think we should complete in 2-3 weeks.

The buyer asked for a 30 day escrow, but I think it will take 60 to 90 days for them to complete the financing arrangements. We can wait.

And congratulations to you, too. Good news all around today.

I would have never thought about applying for a position like this had that other opportunity not present itself. And holy sh*t, the offer was amazing! Submitting my letter of resignation today as soon as I get a chance. Congrats!!
