So... I've done it... I sent in and have done all I can regarding a change in job. I've applied for a position up in the Seattle area (Kent to be precise) in the corperate offices of the company I work for.

Who knows where things will go from here, if I am offered the job, and if I am offered if I will move up there. Atleast now though I can see what happens and make my decision accordingly.

I've researched cost of living, apartments, and such... and if they can make certain financial arangements with me regarding pay (actually only a minor raise from what I'm making now)... I can afford it alone up there.

My goal is if I am offered a job, and it is something that works out for me in my life to accept it and have the move done within 30 days from the job offer. A tight schedule but achievable I think.

I need a change from here where I've spent my whole life.

I live at home, which is nice on the pocketbook (though I do pay rent and such) but no matter how things go my dad still tries to be "in charge" on everything.

I feel like an outsider with all the people here around me. I've become "That Guy"... you know the one who everybody knows... who everybody talks to and thinks is a "cool guy" but is never invited out, is never invited to a party or a show, who is always there when you need help or something... I've become the "constant" in too many peoples lives... I can only do so much and I have so many people pulling me different directions.

To start over would be nice... a place where nobody knows me, or anything about me. A clean slate to start to put my life where I want it to go.

I really hope it works out... I really feel like I'm spinning my wheels right now, professionally, personally, and relationship wise. Things need to be shaken up and this may just do the trick.

Keep your fingers crossed for me!
