So I arrived in Texas by plane on November 6, 2013. After 447 days of being in Texas, today I officially leave. I am moving back to New York and to my hometown area. No, I am not moving back in with my family. As it stands, I'm likely going to go back to work at Staples as I re-evaluate my career and life. I was happier at that job than any other job, and although it's far from glamorous, it's a good way to get myself restabilized. Texas has been a rollercoaster unlike anything I could have imagined, for many reasons that I won't get into.
At the moment, I'm looking at opportunities, including waiting on a call back from StorageCraft. We'll see what happens. However, if that doesn't work out, I will be most likely going back to Staples. I do have another opportunity at a Cisco-based shop (fastest growing company in NYS) called Shoregroup where a friend of mine works. It's about the same pay as Staples and I've never enjoyed Cisco work either time I've studied it. I figure I'll go back to Staples and then fall back on Shoregroup if I just can't do it.
Texas has been fun to a degree, and I'm going to miss hanging with @PSX_Defector and @NetworkNerd. Spiceworld is gonna be a bigger hassle now, as I'll have to fly again to attend the event, but oh well. I've learned a lot about myself and life in general the past 15 months, and I look forward to a new chapter in my life back in New York. Thanks to all you Fruit Tarts who have helped me along the way and continue to do so!
Thanks,
A.J.Well if you need someone to fly to Spiceworld with I generally try to fly out of Syracuse or Wilkes Barre. Good luck with the re-evaluation I know from experience that it can be especially hard.
That would be awesome! My cell is 315-715-8959. Text me and I'll have your number that way too. It'd be nice not to fly alone!

Just to warn you, the last two time I've flown back from Austin I've gotten stuck at the layover/connecting flight.

So Texas isn't big enough for @thanksaj and @scottalanmiller ... Lol.

Jokes aside, it sounds like you need some familiarity. It can be quite hard to think straight when everything around you is very different to what you're used to.

Good Luck A.J.
Hope you will find what you're really looking for -

Thanks Brandi...I was okay. I would have been in bigger trouble if I HAD stopped to sleep, to be perfectly honest...

I'm often like that too. A little sleep can do a lot of damage.
