There are so many things I have learned over in just the past few weeks. I was sitting in class talking with my friend, Michelle, about my experiences in selling a home. She, herself have been through the process before, though it only took only two weeks, she could identify with me in the complexities that plays into the entire transaction. At the end of the day, she told me “Everything will all turn out fine. You don’t know how, but it all will just fall into place perfectly.” As much as I wanted to believe in the powers of positive thinking, it was difficult for me. There were, in fact, many many factors that played into this pot of confusion which I knew needed to be addressed. However, for the life of me, I had no clue to when and how to address them. This was impossible. Have I bitten off more than I can chew? This is coupled with the fact that money is running out, and I have yet been offered a job. I have no idea where to go after the house is gone. Should I stay in Kansas City or should I go? I have always prided myself in being an excellent multi-tasker, but things didn’t seem to want to budge no matter how hard I tried. “Believe me,” Michelle assured me, “Everything will be fine.”



Action on Switzerland…Finally


Ok, while I still have some money, I decided to make an executive decision to just “heck with it” and book the tickets to Switzerland. Granted the home was not sold yet, but I felt that things will not fall apart…too badly…if I had just stepped away for only a week. There will always be reasons why I should not go, whether the reason is the job, family, or finances; and delaying this trip will only delay all the other trips I had planned to explore. Incase you are wondering…Yes, I would like to visit more than one place within my lifetime. I have accepted the fact that timing will never be perfect and so with a giant leap of faith, I booked the tickets and made reservations for Switzerland.

News on the House


Not long after setting the trip for Switzerland, maybe a week, I sold my home. YES I SOLD MY HOME!!! All after about 30 viewings, 5 second visits, 3 supposed offers and 2 firm offers within a two month period. Amazingly, I didn’t just get an offer, but instead I have received two offers on the home. It was crazy how the timing of the offers came about, but because it came at the same time, I was able to make my decision with more confidence. Both offers in were extremes on either spectrums but the net amount is essentially the same. Offer #1 didn’t want any furniture and can close early. Offer #2 could only close on the home late in the summer but will pay in cash for all my furniture. With a firm offer and a signed back-up offer, I eventually decided on the Offer #1. Inspection week went well, and buyers were accepting the home in “as is” condition. I got want I wanted and am flattered that others appreciated the work I had put in the home.

Job News
I have not mentioned this earlier because I didn’t want to jinx any opportunities, but I feel I am along far enough that I should be ok. With respect I will not divulge any detail information that I feel should remain private. So I will be as brief as possible, I was offered a part-time position, with reasonable pay, to take over a position that had unexpectedly opened up. I’m not quite sure if I have any chance of getting a full time job with them and they had not indicated anything on that subject with any level of certainty. In fact they told me they were in the market for a full-time individual, it was obvious they were not going to offer it to me. It was kind of a slap in the face but I took the position and am grateful that I have an opportunity to prove them otherwise with their decision when comes their annual budget meetings. In general, I love my job, I love the people I work with, and I love the company I work for so I’m hoping I can hold out till they realize they love me.
Literally an hour ago, I received a phone call from a job hunter. I have been asked to go on an interview and I agreed hoping to get some experience in interviewing. The guy called me today to tell me the company had interviewed six people for the position and they decided I would be the best fit for the position. The position title is Accountant Controller, and I would be second in command of the company’s accounting division. The pay is what I asked for, plus bonus, and benefits. It would be nice to finally know how it feels to have health insurance. Hehehe. Before you get excited for me, I am certain I know what I want to do, though it seems like a hard decision it was a no brainer at an instant for me. I am going to turn down the offer. What is great about this offer besides monetary compensation is that I am guaranteed sable income and I would put an offer for another home! But the main factors that are swaying my decision are the following:

1. I am not passionate for the objectives of the company.

2. I don’t get a great feeling about the company’s history and future projections.

3. I don’t think I can learn much from the people who would be working with me.

Call me crazy and maybe I am, but I think I’ll be holding out for the “possibility” of a full-time job at my preferred organization. This may be a bad move on my part, but I am on the road of not settling for anything. I know what is important for me and I rather give it a shot than settle for what is put in front of me. I’ll have to let you know if it all works out. I can’t purchase a home until I get a stable income. In the mean time I will remain homeless or/and a wonderer. But I’m very happy with what I do for work…finally.



Things have been stressful but I can’t really say I don’t appreciate it. I am grateful for the decisions that cause me stress. Granted it is not great going through the health, eating, and sleeping problems associated to these stresses, but needless to say I’m glad I have them. Everything have been happening really fast and it all happened when I least expected it. There is a great side effect to all this, I have lost a lot of weight. For the next two weeks, I have to finish my final exams, my final papers, prepare for a final presentation, move everything out of my home, transfer gurulib to another server, sign away my house on the 7th of May, and leave for Switzerland on the 9th of May. I have decided to think about where I’ll be living next after I come back from Switzerland. After returning from my trip, I have a part-time, that I love, to return to. All that has happened has me thinking back to what Michelle had said to me just a couple weeks ago about how things tend to work out all on its own when it’s suppose to be. In all that has happened and how it all came together, I have to admit that she was right after all. It is amazing how everything can work out and you can’t help but think there is somebody “upstairs” watching over you.
