We've been anxiously waiting for news of our next assignment. Frankly, it's been a little frustrating. The unknown can be exciting or nerve-wracking and it's been a little of both for us recently. But now we have a bit of a plan for the next few months so we're relieved and anxious to move on.
Where are we going?
Drum roll, please....
Atlanta!
We'll report to the corporate headquarters Monday morning (located in Peachtree Corners, GA) for a week of training, then we'll be working in the Atlanta area for 2-3 months. The good news about this assignment is that the work in the Atlanta area is ongoing and there are several different crews working there, so it's not like we have to stay there until it's all done (like we did here).
After that, it sounds like we'll actually be coming back to this area for a few weeks to train whoever is assigned to the job we just finished. I'm not sure if this is standard procedure, but the customer here is known to be rather picky, but they liked us, so that's the current plan.
That should take us through the end of May. After that, fingers crossed, we'll be heading out west.
Dan and Debbie Green, the people who trained us on our jobs here, are in the Atlanta area now and gave us a recommendation for a campground so we'll their neighbors, more or less.
It's about a four hour drive (which means it'll take us anywhere from 6-15 hours) and we plan to arrive Saturday afternoon, which gives us Sunday to get acclimated before we start training on Monday.
Now that we are finally set with a date to leave here, it's a little bittersweet. We're excited for what's next and ready for a new location, but we've made some good friends here. But, it sounds like we'll be returning in a couple months for a visit, so no need to get too tearful.
