[GOPisEvil]

I will be relocating to the Seattle area for this wonderful opportunity! So, along with the good stuff listed above, I will be closer to my SO. :party:

[Shakespeare]

1. Congratulations!!!

You'll love living up there. When's the big move date? And yay for that bigger paycheck, too!!

:woohoo:

[GOPisEvil]

3. They want me to start Nov. 1 (actually the 3rd, I guess).

So, I'm in CA from Monday to October 9 for training. Therefore I will have about two weeks to get my crap together and move. I'm going to be stressed out! But it's a good stress!

[lizziegrace]

2. YAY!!!

I'm so happy for you AND your SO. :D

:hug:


:party:

[GOPisEvil]

4. Thanks!

Although, we'll find out how much she really likes me. ;)

[lizziegrace]

6. Hehe...

[PeaceNikki]

[GOPisEvil]

8. Thanks!

I was literally shaking talking to my new boss today! :bounce:

[PeaceNikki]

9. I bet!! When are you moving?

D'oh... I see your answer up there ^.

How exciting!

[GOPisEvil]

11. Late October.

After I cast my ballot of course. ;)

[flvegan]

7. That's fantastic news, congratulations!

Big win-win-win for you!

[GOPisEvil]

10. Thanks!

Not only is it a promotion, it's within my same organization, so I have familiarity with the work. This job is perfect for me, and the fact it's in the same state as Madrone is the best icing on the cake ever!

[SOteric]

12. Yay!!!

[GOPisEvil]

13. Need a roommate?

I kid, I kid!

Thanks! :pals:

[Bunny]

14. That's wonderful!!!

Go you! :woohoo:

[Richardo]

15. You. are. the. man!!

Congratulations, my brother. If there's one other place to live besides Austin and Pittsburgh, Seattle is right up there.

:party: :pals:

[malta blue]

16. that is wonderful!

:bounce::bounce:

[underpants]

17. congrats

YAAAAAAY!

[SallyMander]

18. Congratulations!!!

I've heard many good things about Seattle. What great news! :D

:toast:

[SeattleGirl]

19. Cool!!!

You'll be a neighbor!!

And congratulations! I start a new job on Monday; good pay and bennies!

:bounce: :toast: :bounce:

[GOPisEvil]

20. Thanks to everyone else that responded!

I'm very excited! :bounce:

Of course I have a metric fuckload of work to do between now and then, but it will be worth it.

[Richardo]

28. That's not a cubic yard of fuckload?

Elitist.

[NMDemDist2]

21. very nice!! and Seattle is a very blue area so you'll have nice neighbors too n/t

[Texasgal]

22. Whaaaaaa?

Dammit! Another good Texan Democrat bites the dust!

Congrats!!!

Is your house on the market yet? I have a REALLY good real estate agent if you don't yet...

Texas will miss you!

[GOPisEvil]

24. I'm planning on renting out to a co-worker for now.

I'll miss Texas, too. Er, well, I'll miss certain Texans and Austin. ;)

[Texasgal]

25. That's awesome!!!

Atleast you don't have to try and sell quickly!

Is your employer paying for your move? Will you be driving the Evilmobile to Seattle?

I am very happy for you!

[GOPisEvil]

29. I will get partial relocation.

I suppose I will drive the Evilmobile up there. I don't want to buy another car just yet.

Thanks! :)

[Zomby Woof]

23. FUCKIN' SWEET!!!!!!!!!!

:patriot: From a former Seattleite to a future one! CONGRATS!!! :D :bounce: :woohoo:

You will enjoy baseball at Safeco Field (and at least watching Ichiro, lol), even if it is the AL! ;-)

LOTS of great micros.

Beautiful GREEN vistas with snowcapped peaks.

COFFEE everywhere!

Books, art, MUSIC.

I will always have a soft spot for my long time former home!!!




... now get yer ass out here in L.A. soon, dammit! Aren't you due any time now? :D

[GOPisEvil]

27. I fly out Sunday afternoon.

I will be there through Oct. 9. :D

I do love me some tall trees and mountains. There's also a wonderful woman up there for whom I have a liking. ;)

[Zomby Woof]

30. She was at my FIRST DU meetup!

WAAAY back in December 2001! :D




Don't forget my number! We ARE getting together!!!

[GOPisEvil]

31. Oh yeah, back under her other, long gone name.

Hell yeah we're getting together. I can taste the sushi already! :9

[Zomby Woof]

34. BEHOLD!

[GOPisEvil]

35. That's an old picture.

Isn't the new football field there where the Kingdome was?

I can't wait for baseball season to come back. I love watching baseball live. That said, as sucky as both UW and the Seahawks are, I bet I can get a good seat there, too. :D

[Zomby Woof]

36. LOL

Yeah, I changed it when I noticed! You're FAST! :rofl:

I used to see the Seachickens when the Chargers came to town (in the Kingdome). And the Huskies are more popular than they are in some quarters!

Sad to see the Sonics go. Too bad you won't see the Spurs while you're there. :-(

The Tacoma Rainiers are Seattle's AAA team, and not a bad way to enjoy some minor league scrapping.

[GOPisEvil]

37. Well, I have a plan for seeing my Spurs.

A good friend of mine who was born and raised in San Antonio lives in Eugene, OR. I bet I can offer to meet him in Portland if the game is on a weekend.

[Zomby Woof]

38. True!

And no trip to Portland is complete without going to Powell's Books. :-)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. My dear GOPisEvil!

Biggo congrats!

I could not be happier for you!

Everything's coming up roses for you and Madrone...

They are so lucky to be getting you on board!

33. Thank you, Peggy.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

32. Congratualations

That is awesome.

[ThomCat]

Ihope this goes wonderfully well for you. :)
