I know it has been a while since I last posted on my blog here. For me there are a few things that have much to do with writing. First is the desire to write something and second is having something to say. Lately I have been a bit depressed or maybe it was just worry. Things were wrapping up in Reno at the mall, the closing date coming closer and yet I had no solid plan for my financial future. See the company that purchased the mall in Reno made me a sweet offer to stay on until the official closing. It was a over used phrase “An offer I couldn’t refuse”. So things were worked out between the company I work for and the owners of the property.

As the end date came closer I was given hints of a solid future from my employer. The Divisional VP was telling me he wanted to keep me on and that there were a couple properties he wanted me to take over… problem was no details. It left me worried as you might guess.

It came right down to the last two days when I was asked when I would be leaving for Washington and how soon I could be at the mall in Eugene Oregon to hire and train a manager there. They had a good candidate and I was to finish up the hire process and begin training. I wrapped up things at the mall in Reno then loaded up what few belongings I had and headed for the Pacific Northwest. I was able to spend three days with the family before heading out to Eugene. Four days there then back home for two then back up for a week.

I never wanted to be traveling around but at the moment the paycheck out weighs my desires to be home more. The problem is that I am still in this “limbo” situation. The Divisional VP hasn’t been clear as to what comes next. Am I traveling to another property after this one? Taking over a property here like he hinted at previously? I sure hope that he comes through with some answers soon.

I have also been looking and sending my resume around the area here for local work. Nothing good as yet but I will continue with that.  Until something better comes along I am stuck with one person holding the key to my employment future. I don’t like this at all. Especially when he doesn’t communicate well with details. At least I still have a paycheck coming in, a nice expense account and a family that understands the situation. We’ll just see where this leads.
