Moved to Orange County
Yes..yet another move... being a consultant is hard. This is my 2nd move in less than year. Moving from Louisiana to Utah wasnt as hard. I just packed my clothes and computer into my car and hit the road. Moving to OC was a whole another story. I drove a 17' U Haul to OC. Apparently the U Haul guys didnt have a tow dolly at that time. So I had to fly back to Salt Lake again the following weekend to get my car. Finally I am settled into an apartment. Funnily enough apartments here dont have centralized A/C's (atleast a majority of the ones I checked out dont), they dont have a refrigerator in the apartment and still the rents are sky rocketing !! I am paying twice of what I used to pay for a double bed apt in SLC for a single bed apt here in Irvine. The biggest pain is with traffic. Luckily my office is only 2 mi from my apt and I dont have to take the freeway. So thats a reliever.
So I started my new job today as SQL Developer and it wasnt that bad. Xcept for the company taking me for a ride and delaying the start date by 2 weeks and me either sitting at home or just driving around and not getting paid, it was relieving to finally walk into the office today. I have always had these kind of fears about working for companies in California. True enough.
I like the place but I am still a little frustrated with the company for giving me a ride. Hope that settles down and I enjoy my work.
