Changes, They're A Comin'

This has been an eventful week, and it's only Wednesday.

First, the fantastic role with the Indian folks has turned to shit.  The first client, who was supposedly a slam dunk, has been dead silent for almost two months.  As you may recall, this is the company that had been owned by the principle of our startup, and he had a personal relationship with the new owner.  Said new owner was allegedly ready to move on the engagement, but wanted to socialize the idea with his staff.  I find it to be highly suspicious that my principle has been completely unable to connect with this guy, considering they go out for drinks and the like.  A friend would at least tell another friend "hey, this is dead."  The Indians sent me a list of alternate potential clients, with the intent of talking this week.  None of the proposed companies fit in our model and no invitation for a call has been sent my way.  

The other significant development is that I'll be receiving a job offer by end of the week.  Not only will I finally have some solid income, but this role will have me relocating to Raleigh, NC.  My first choice was Richmond, VA but the only way that was going to happen was if I secured a remote role and Raleigh has been at the top of my alternates list throughout the process. 

While this is all great, I'm not looking forward to the move, with it now including parents and a dog.  From a gun fire perspective, I'm concerned about a potential lack of options.  There's plenty of matches all over the place there, but very few places to practice, it seems.  Difficult to shoot matches if you can't practice.  There's one private club in the area and membership is limited to 300.  Yeah, I'll be dead before that call comes.  One step at a time.
