So everything seems to have come together for me in the past two weeks, in regards to moving from California to Las Vegas and starting Law school at UNLV. On July 11th, I leased an awesome house in the Green Valley area of Henderson Nevada, for a great price. I also have an option to purchase it at the end of the lease. On the same day, I received a strong offer on the house I have for sale in California. After a minor counteroffer, basically involving some re-wording of the buyer’s original offer, we reached an agreement and the house went into escrow by the end of that week. On the very next day, I was offered a decent job with a large company. I had hoped to transfer to my current employer’s Las vegas area operations, but because of budgetary reasons, that process has not exactly been as smooth as expected. Still, there may be some hope left for that prospect. I was out in Vegas again this week (Wednesday & Thursday) to officially accept the new position, and as I was getting ready to keep that appointment I received a call from a co-worker. It seems that someone from our Las Vegas ops was on the phone with my supervisor asking about me. He wanted to interview me over the phone, but since I was in town, we set up a face-to-face meeting. That went pretty well. The funny thing is, the guy told me that he didn’t even know he had an opening in his department. He was told by the area vice preseident that he needed to interview me. I guess it does pay to know people who know people 
. Anyway, I don’t know if they are actually going to offer me a job, but if so, it pays about $5 more per hour than the one I have recently accepted and I will retain my seniority – which means I get 3 + weeks of vacation/year and I won’t have to pay them back for my undergraduate education (which they paid for 100%). I am getting pumped for school and have already registered for my 1st semester classes. My schedule will be : Mon/Wed 6:15pm to 7:40pm – Contracts I Tues/Thurs 6:15pm to 7:40pm – Civ Pro/ADR I Tues/Thurs 7:50pm to 9:15pm Lawyering Process I (this is my Legal Writing/Research class). I am offering my employer (either one) a work schedule that includes weekends. I would love to work 4 10-hour shifts, say friday through monday, or even third shift starting thursday nights and being done by monday afternoon. This may be a real possibility, and I think it would be cool because then I would be off all day during most school days. I am not worried about missing out on “weekend” things, cause vegas is a 24/7 kind of town.
Ready, Set, Go-Go!
