Denver? My life is in upheaval
I just talked to my new employers on the phone and they want to send me to campaign in Denver instead, because Colorado is a crucial swing state and they want to open another new office there between now and the election.
I agreed, because
a) I'd rather be at the beginning of a new project and have a hand in its opening
b) it's closer to California and I know more people in Colorado
c) OMG the Democratic National Convention
d) since I'm only guaranteed employment until the election, a project like this sets me up better to ask for a permanent position
Anyway, so, now, I'm not moving to Chicago. I'm a bit sad, but also excited for Denver too. I can't believe I'm going back* though! So bizarre. Even if it's only for three months.
Who lives in Denver these days?
*I was in and out of Denver while doing AmeriCorps*NCCC last year. I left in November 2007, ten months ago. I should be pulled into the city nine or ten days from now. I'll be leaving in seven.
