The dirty details.

I never really understood that expression but no less. It is the title of this blog. The details you may ask, or you may hope, are about my move to Texas. San Antonio to be precise. But I think I mentioned that part at least.

I'm sure you all read or at least heard about Chase buying out Washington Mutual. And if you didn't hear about it you seriously need to get out more. Or at least buy a radio for your cave if you don't want to go out. But they did and it was a really fast move too. One day there are two banks the next day *poof* only Chase. So because of this transaction they asked people in my department (and others as well) if we would like to relocate to WaMu's Texas location. As an added bonus of getting out of the cold wintery my car didn't even want to start and I had to sit for ten minutes while my window defrosted enough to be able to scrape it the other day weather Chase is paying us $4000. To some who have kids and a mortgage and lots of expensive furniture that's not much. But as I have none of the above it's a fair amount. They would like us to stay there for two years but as long as we remain within Chase we only have to be there for one. I found a roommate there who just bought a house and if I hadn't left my new computer at home after Christmas I would post a picture of it. I google mapped it and it looks really nice.

I leave Columbus early Friday the 29th with my roommie Laura. She's riding with me in and I'm flying her back. We'll probably stay in Memphis friday night and get to my new residence Saturday evening. Assuming all goes well. And if it doesn't then thankfully we have AAA.

As for my car making it you ask? The driver's side window is taped shut making it impossible to go through drive thru's because I rolled it down one day and it decided not to roll back up. And there's a piece missing off the right side of it with blue touch of paint. And it's a two door car so I'm going to need to get those bags where you vacuum all the air out to hopefully make stuff fit. But according to the place where I get my repairs done (clearly the window and the piece that really isn't missing I just haven't paid to have it put back on are not top priority repairs) the mechanic says that it's in good condition and it should make is just fine. Hopefully he's right.

So. There you go. Details. I'm sure I'll have much more to blog about in the coming days and weeks so stay tuned.
