Happy June everyone! Hope you are all well!
The place where my husband, Bob, works, seems to have been going downhill the past 6 months. Some of the things Bob tells me that goes on there just makes you shake your head in disbelief. It used to be a really great company. Just crazy stuff that has been going on.
Anyway, Bob has really had enough of it all. He recently applied for a new job back in Tasmania, and so we are just waiting to hear back about it. They have to have a board meeting for the final decision, and it all sounds pretty hopeful.
Their main concern is that although they realize they need to hire another person, they just don't know if they have the budget to do so to be able to pay Bob what he is hoping to get. Bob will be taking a big pay cut though if he takes this job (compared to what he currently gets paid), but we are ok with that.
We really hope things work out and that they are able to hire Bob. We want to move back to Tasmania very much. We'd like to live in the town that his folks live in, and it's a nice spot, more out in the country. And the school there goes from kindergarten to 10th grade, so the boys would still be at the same school with each other for a few more years. The high school is separate from the primary section, but the 2 are next to each other. It would be good too, for when Katie starts school in 2 years, the boys will be there too (just in high school).
So it's all pretty exciting. I know I shouldn't get my hopes up (although I am sure you can tell I am excited for the possibility). They could still decide they aren't able to hire Bob at this time. But it looks like there is a great chance they will.
If it all works out and we do get to move, we have a lot to do around the house. We need to get the roof and ceiling upstairs as there are some places where the roof leaks. We need to get the air conditioner fixed, downstairs bathroom ceiling fixed, LOTS of yard work, and a few other bits and pieces. We are going to be doing a lot of yard work this weekend, mostly because it just needs to be done anyway. We have a huge container coming on friday so we can put stuff in it - kind of like a huge dumpster, which they call a skip here. We also plan to get rid of a few old pieces of furniture, and junk around the house. The more we can get rid of, the less we have to worry about moving if we do move, I say.
I'll keep you posted on the outcome!
