Four Hundred Mile Round Trip For A Job Interview

[Randy]

Actually it is about a 3 1/2 hour drive and that's with traveling speed limits and no traffic...Fat chance the closer you get to south Florida and Lauderdale is getting way down there(My dad lives due west of Pompano/Lauderdale). I've lived in Orlando...made the drive several times.
To add to it, 3 1/2 hours is optimal time...most likely they are going to bump traffic, especially once they hit Palm Beach or until they get out past Palm Beach. It can be a nightmare with such a closed in space and very few ways in and out.  The traffic sucks down that way...unless they've built more roads in the 2 years since I"ve last visited

But, the whole point is I expect this is just for a ONE TIME interview and they would move should the girlfriend gets the job so I don't see what the big deal is. I'd actually question the move if I were them because South Florida seems a bit more unstable then central when it comes to jobs right now. I'd be looking further North of Orlando, not south, but who knows her qualifications and if she has some specialty that would bring more stability. I can't help but wonder now that they are contemplating moving anyway if they wish they had just moved to Dallas to begin with and stayed with the girlfriend's job. Somehow I get the feeling it was the DUmmy boyfriend who whined about moving to the rethug hub of Texas. 

Maybe she's got a chance to move from The Dollhouse on OBT to the one in Ft Lauderdale.

Must be something about the area, Boud. When my parents moved with me from Germany to the states waaaay back when, they too had their thigns looted by German movers. WTH?

Well, to be fair, the Germans aren't the only looters among movers.  Some friends of ours, while stationed with us in Augsburg, had left most of their furniture in storage in the Ft. Bragg area.  The warehouse workers apparently SOLD alot of families' appliances and furniture at flea markets.  I remember how  :argh:our friends were, but confess to forgetting many details.  It's been over 15 years and I'm gettin' old.

So... why not move to Dallas when the job went there too?

My guess is, since the company got bought by another, that the job became redundant.  And I am quite happy about them not coming here, because we have enough infiltrating from everywhere else.  (Democrats, that is.)

I've done 400 miles round trip as a commute before. A man does what a man needs to do. But being a DUmp denizen you wouldn't know about that would you DUmmie?

My rule of thumb was 1½ hrs one way! Anything more than that and I rented a room. Anything more was like working two jobs and only gettin' paid for one! I hate drivin', can ya tell?

Outsourced to Dallas.....that was pretty funny right there, I LOL'd.   We've seen this loser before, just recently.  A complete freeloader; his fiancee carries all the weight.  He used to publish something, then the market for the subject matter tanked, so he gave up.  Sponges off of girlfriend.  As a result, they are perpetually destitute.  Who would say "yes" to a proposal from a creep like that?

Every loser DUmp chick who posted to that "all alone at Christmas" thread the other day.

I missed that thread over the weekend too, so I remembered where to find it now.

Like you, no one calls. I get no invites out and I have no more single friends... It does indeed hurt.

I'm sorry, but someone who consciously chooses such a screenname is not likely to be the life of any party.
