How was your day? andrewhobbs2002: well nothing as traumatic as that. It was alright. Tolerable at least Meljoey: lol Meljoey: work busy lateley? Meljoey: lately, that is andrewhobbs2002: steady, not busy. the christmas season has finally passed us by again Meljoey: finally? Meljoey: didn't it make the days just whiz by, though? being busy? andrewhobbs2002: yes, but its also very hectic and crazed sometimes Meljoey: I understand Meljoey: so what are you doing tonight? andrewhobbs2002: just watching tv and relaxing Meljoey: watching what on tv? andrewhobbs2002: Simpson's andrewhobbs2002: Have you ever watched Everwood? Meljoey: nope andrewhobbs2002: its another one of those, try not to watch it cuz you'll get addicted Meljoey: how can you watch the Simpsons? Doesn't Homer drive you NUTS? andrewhobbs2002: yes, but its so funny Meljoey: lol Meljoey: I like Bart's saucy comments and sarcasm -- though I can't say I've ever reallywatched. andrewhobbs2002: truthfully it is probably the best written comedy on television, filled with all kinds of satire. Its delightfully funny Meljoey: best written comedy? I doubt that! Meljoey: What about Seinfeld? Friends? andrewhobbs2002: no really, it is. both very good comedies as well, but for a cartoon that has been on for 17 years and even this year was chosen by the American FIlm institute as one of thebest programs on television, I think you think just because its a cartoon that it isn't in the same league Meljoey: 17 yrs. wow Meljoey: I had no idea andrewhobbs2002: yup Meljoey: what have I been missing! Gasp! andrewhobbs2002: You should rent one of the seasons and watch it Meljoey: perhaps andrewhobbs2002: seasons one and two are available andrewhobbs2002: I think three too Meljoey: though I don't want Shae takling like Bart andrewhobbs2002: lol Meljoey: talking andrewhobbs2002: she could talk like Lisa Meljoey: Egads! Meljoey: she is so funny. we dont' allow her to say "I can't" or "stupid", etc. and she's like the word police. We'll be out in public and she'll hear someone say that and she'll get wide-eyed and say, Mom, that's a bad word, isn't it? And none to quietly either. andrewhobbs2002: lol. that's so funny Meljoey: did I tell you she's decided to be a cheerleader? I have a blonde blue eyed cheerleader. How could I be oh so lucky? andrewhobbs2002: hehehehe, and you loved them oh so much when you were in school Meljoey: GROSS Meljoey: maybe in a small town it'll be diff andrewhobbs2002: yeah because there's no big city to distract them from everything else but football and cheerleading Meljoey: LMAO Meljoey: well...I know we just said hello...but I've got to get to bed. Have to get to work early so this lady can drop off her dog before work. Meljoey: I"ll look you up manana andrewhobbs2002: okay andrewhobbs2002: :-( Meljoey: night Meljoey: SORRY andrewhobbs2002: s'oaky Meljoey: did you need to talk? andrewhobbs2002: nah Meljoey: ARE YOU SURE? andrewhobbs2002: yeah Meljoey: for you I would stay up all night Meljoey: but it better be real angst....hee hee hee andrewhobbs2002: no, no, you go to bed, get your sleep.

The Univ of Michigan is there andrewhobbs2002: so its a college town Meljoey: is that a good school? andrewhobbs2002: supposed to be Meljoey: what's it known for? like pre med, law, what? andrewhobbs2002: I'm not sure Meljoey: what's the weather like this time of year there? andrewhobbs2002: it gets very cold andrewhobbs2002: its right below canada Meljoey: like negative ? andrewhobbs2002: afterall Meljoey: lol Meljoey: smartass andrewhobbs2002: he he, who me Meljoey: lol Meljoey: that's like this guy came in and said he was from north of Wisconsin and we were like, there's nothing north of Wisconsin. And he said, wellthere's this little place called Canada. Meljoey: anyway, so...? andrewhobbs2002: lololol andrewhobbs2002: its the whole thing about pullingup all my roots and leaving everything and everybody behind Meljoey: scary Meljoey: starting over, drastic change is scary andrewhobbs2002: no, its more like I am going to lose everyone down here Meljoey: but it's like I told you about the moving to London thing. If youhate it you can always come back Meljoey: you've only known Derek and WAde ane Paige and the rest for, what, a year? You make friends very easily andrewhobbs2002: yes I just had this conversation with Derek too andrewhobbs2002: Its not so much amking the NEW friends, but losingthe old ones Meljoey: I understand. But I'm sure he told you, you won't lose us. I mean, IM and email make it very easy to stay in touch. But also, it wont be the same as dropping by or having them drop by for dinner/lunch/movies, etc. andrewhobbs2002: not the same at all Meljoey: You could tell yourself you'll give it 12 months and if by the end you are in misery you come home. If you lost your friends in just 12 months they wouldn't be very good friends. andrewhobbs2002: yes but the problem is, what if those friends aren't here if I come back andrewhobbs2002: their lives move on and mine moves on and its like I hate this feeling Meljoey: They are going to move on regardless if you stay or go. Meljoey: You'll either be a part of their moving on or not. andrewhobbs2002: I know, i know, i know. Meljoey: But geography shouldn't change that. I mean, you and I don't get to see each other more than a couple three times a year but we still are a part of each other's lives andrewhobbs2002: I know, but 90 miles is not the same as 1500 Meljoey: seems like it most days andrewhobbs2002: true Meljoey: I know I'm not helping Meljoey: I want to make changes too but I'm terrified andrewhobbs2002: same conversation almost verbatim with Derek Meljoey: LOL Meljoey: I am Derek...hee hee hee... Meljoey: you've found me out andrewhobbs2002: lol andrewhobbs2002: sigh......... Meljoey: yes, I know. big heavy sigh Meljoey: why don't you do this. Apply for the position. If they ask you up for an interview, go. Check the place out, see how it FEELS to you. If you don't like it, don't accept the job. Meljoey: If the doors seem to be opening and everything seems to fall into place, then you'll know it's meant to be andrewhobbs2002: well the door seems to be opening even from here, I mean everyone from my dm to the pres of the company, well former pres., asked if I thought about working in the home office andrewhobbs2002: but I need to apply Meljoey: then perhaps it's meant ot be Meljoey: so take the initial steps and see what happens Meljoey: who would you interview with? up in MI? or here? andrewhobbs2002: Well I don't know, I know that my dm is already willing to support the promotion Meljoey: so get them to fly you to MI for a look-see Meljoey: if they want you, they'll do that.
