Don't Stop Believing....oooooooaaaaaaooooooooo

Gentle Readers,

It is my duty to inform you that I have been offered an Assistant Professorship at Middle Georgia College, an offer which I am taking. :) And because the chair of the Humanities Department is pretty much made of win, MGC is matching Waycross's offer! MATCHING!!!!! I was more than 100% sure I would be taking an income loss if MGC offered me the job. *is floored*

I now have less than 60 days in Oxford. OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

I am so happy.

Again the thanks for all the well wishes and the positive vibes and the occult rituals that you, Dear Readers, employed to get me, well, employed.

Now I have so much to do!!!! I spent this morning putting all the loose photographs into albums and next on the list is going through my closet. :)

So, help me out here, Y'all. I have a tentative list of all the things I think I need to do before we move and once we get to where we're moving, but I *know* I am leaving something off the list. So comment with your list of things I need to do now and later, please!!!!

*smushes you all*

My advice is less to do with the mechanics of moving, and more advice for when you get there.

I lived in Central Georgia for a good period of time - just north of Warner Robins, in Macon. I know whereof I speak.

Middle Georgia/Cochran is below the gnat line. This means if you have difficulties with bugs, you will have a few challenges. I recommend Skin-So-Soft for repelling the crittters without smelling like a chemistry set.

This also means that you will probably have roaches almost where ever your house is. It does not mean your house is dirty - they just ARE, universally. The newer the house, though, the better the situation, although I loved the old houses, so I put up with them for character.

I also suggest you sell your soul if needed for a place with Air Conditioning. I've lived in Central Ga both with and without, and trust me. it's worth having. (Remember, I lived there over twenty years ago, so it may be as universal as the roaches now, I don't know. All I do know is that it hit 105 degrees a couple of years, and even when I was younger, that was too hot to handle.)

When I lived there, only Macon and Warner Robins had malls, while the smaller towns did not. That may have changed, but you might want to consider stocking up on essentials of the mall sort when you pass through those towns, if you're driving.

And finally - YAY! You're only going to be - what, a good three hours from me? That's close than you've been before!

We shall definitely have to meet up. :) I sense fannishness in our futures.

Thanks for the heads up on the gnats. I hadn't heard about that yet, so good to know.

I think that's still true about the smaller towns. If we end up having to live in Cochran, that'll definitely be a consideration. I hope we don't have to, though.
