• Traveling .. Extravaganza? Sunday, I fly to Iowa (Cedar Rapids) for work…  I get back on Friday  and NEXT monday, I go to Georgia, I get back from Georgia on Friday and that Sunday I fly to IL for 2 weeks….  I’ll litterally be home for 3 days in a 4 week period. I am ok with that, and while I’ve not heard news on the job, I know I have it… I just don’t know what it pays. You’d think, someone who traveled so much for work, would pay well? You’d think? Hoping so.. I really want this job, but if I’m adding in Rent (which I don’t have here) plus travel expenses between IL and NC to visit family.. miles on the car… AND leaving the beauty here, I don’t think asking for another $5 – $8k/year is unrealistic? That would put me comfortably over my bracket I’m in now. And this is a specialized training position. I don’t think I can live off the SAME I’m making .. sadly. But $5k more a year would barely make it.. $8 I’d be comfortable.  Blizzcon trip is in the works, may be my last one for awhile depending… I’ve got my hotel reservations 17th – 24th… not needing a rental car, a friend will be picking me up at the airport and be my transportation, so that’s saving approx $500 . Just flight/hotel/food.  Will update on that when I have more info. The work trip, I’m not nervous about, I just feel a lil , bewildered I suppose. I’ll catch on tho.
