Next week March begins.
Feels like the older you get, the faster time starts to pass you by.
A lot of things are in flux here with us. I continue to hope that my company will get back to me regarding the compensation piece that I need for Dani and I to relocate back to Southern California - it's going on two months now and I haven't really heard very much regarding it other than I'm at the top of a short list to be promoted. While the promotion is fantastic and something that I've been striving for, the financial piece is the thing that I'm anxious about.
I've given a reasonable number and thus far, anything around it has been either veiled in secrecy or otherwise not communicated to me.
For transparency, our lease ends at the end of April. That means that next week, our landlord needs to get an understanding of whether we're staying or not. At the same time, they're looking to sell the place. Us not knowing this critical piece of information impacts their plans. That said, they've been kind enough to work with us and maybe extend the lease out for a month or two more (to June), but anything longer than that, we'd be signing something and staying until March of 2023.
After that, the uncertainty hits against our ability to get our own home and start a family. Things that are extremely high on my priority list.
None of this affects me, singularly. Dani also needs to have some form of clarity around her own work situation and whether she'll be staying for awhile longer or will need to start to look for jobs back home.
Tomorrow afternoon, I have the first of two conversations regarding roles with other companies. The outcome of which may make the decision for us. Then on Friday is a conversation with my Advisor where I feel I need to depart from holding this close to my chest and be transparent with him. He's been my biggest champion and I don't think it'd be right to not keep him in the loop in this particular instance.
I hope to be able to have positive news, in some form, next week.
