Moving Update

All,

Our final move date is going to be October 12th. We have not agreed to a deal with any moving companies or self-move services, but we are pretty sure we will be moving ourselves. My friend Craig is going to go with us and Tiffany is trying to see if Erin will go. Craig can ride with me in the moving truck which will help with the drive. It also gives us another person in case we run into any problems.

We will leave early thursday morning and drive all day and evening with a hotel stay that night probably around Oklahoma City, OK. This should split the drive to Phoenix in about half with 14 hrs the first day and 14 the second. Then we would unload the bare necessities to stay the night Friday night in our new place. We are renting James's home for $1200/month.

In other news, Tiffany has a job interview coming up over the phone with a large downtown based law firm in Phoenix. Jean Hilliard was able to get me a phone conversation with the National Lockbox Manager at Chase bank (2nd biggest bank in the US). He talked with me for about 15 minutes. I then had a 45 minute interview with the hiring manager for Chase Retail Lockbox in Phoenix (Chris Lang). This is the largest retail lockbox site in the country. He has an opening for a 1st shift manager that would be in charge of about 150 people (similar to what I have today). This would be a great opportunity to go into a new company. I would be familiar with the dept and the processes so that I could have some sort of comfort level. Hopefully everything goes well. They are setting up two more interviews for next week with the managers that would be my peers. If that goes well, they would fly me down there. Keep your fingers crossed. In the meantime, I am still looking at many different websites for openings.

We are very excited. I am putting in my notice at National City on Monday or Tuesday night.
