Choose Your Own Adventure -- Pt. 2
You chose to have Tina and Joe pursue the job in Memphis.
Since my last posting, the job in Minneapolis has officially been filled -- by someone other than Joe. This is not that big of a deal, since Joe technically put his resume in the pile AFTER they had already filled the position...which does make it a lot trickier to get hired. Since the cost-of-living in Minneapolis is so high, it would have probably been near impossible to fulfill my deep love of sweaters on our budget anyway, so it isn't that big of a loss. The word about the MN job came the day after a disappointing call regarding the Memphis job. Sounds like a Mafia-oriented movie, doesn't it -- "The Memphis Job" coming soon to a theatre near you. But I digress...So on Wednesday, we got a call that gave the impression that Joe isn't entirely in the running for the Memphis job for a variety of reasons. This was disappointing, of course, and the further narrowing of our options made it seem more and more likely that we'd be shopping for a van and riverfront parking to begin our new life as homeless people. Fortunately, the person Joe spoke to on Wednesday was replaced on Friday by a new person who seems very in favor of considering Joe for the Memphis job. So, van-shopping plans are on hold for now and we're back to praying for opportunities that involve Blues, BBQ and regular trips to Graceland.
The next Choose Your Own Adventure will decide if Joe and Tina should pursue a love of The King (Elvis) or the King of Kings (and Lord of Lords). That one seems like a no-brainer....Elvis is dead, but my God is living in me!
