I loved Austin so much that since then I've actually been nursing the opportunity to move down there.
Years ago before the word "recession" was added to our vocabularies, I had a very brief co-worker pack up and move over there. He was so excited about it too. He shared the same discontent with me in Atlanta, you know, how the people are not friendly and he had just moved here from up north, so he packed his shit and moved over there. But he's advantage was, he was a non-licensed attorney so he could easily work remotely. I can't even work remotely here in Atlanta.
So since I got down very hard from my Austin high, I've been researching jobs in Austin. Sadly, not that many. I guess the recession hit them hard. Very hard. It didn't seem that way when I was up there. Everyone seemed so quirky, educated and happy in their middle-class status. Not so in Atlanta. I should have known something was wrong with the astounding number of homeless people. I even did a cross search between Houston jobs and Austin job and a lot more jobs showed up in Houston (that wretched city) than Austin. Things that make you sad, aye!
This is my plea to the blog word: if you happen to know anyone who might need a blogger, a somewhat good writer, an international legal professional, a contract analyst, an aspiring anything in Austin, please let me know. I would even pay for my own relocation. Yes, I decided that Austin is the only city in the South I'd even consider relocating to and be that as it may be, I won't let anyone talk me out of it.
