I'm moving! ... but to where?

[The Fake Shemp]

Pennsylvania?  I don't know.

[Oblivion]

The Lord has rained down a heap of shit on me and has shown me who my true friends are.  And I think it's time to pack up and head... where?

Los Angeles?

Don't you live in North Hollywood? That's technically LA, you silly duck.

[CurseoftheGods]

Move to Dubai and teach English.

[APF]

I always thought of NYC as like an abusive husband: you feel chained by love but all you know are bouts of cruelty peppered with the insincere hope of returning a magic you've convinced yourself you once had.

[Eric P]

Move to Maryland. Then you can just drive to places like New York and Pennsylvania.

Come to where the FLAVOR IS.

plus the AFI silver is here

Sac-town, lols.

honestly, if money isn't an issue, I can't think of anywhere in the US that is better to live in than the Bay Area.

[The Fake Shemp]

Pretty much every place in America would be better than this place.

Which is pretty sweet but they need to start running matinees.

See what I did there? Hope everything turns out well dude, sorry to hear about your troubles.

Well, I got the transfer process rolling at work.

[TVC15]

So where have you settled on, honky?

I hear it is super cheap to lead an extravagant lifestyle in beautiful Alabama.

Where the fuck are you going to be Willco. I am waiting in antici... ... ... ...pation.

[The Fake Shemp]

pm when you're leaving.  me and the wife will drive up and get you drunk.

I haven't settled on any one place.  I've given my DM a general overview of markets I'd like to relocate to.

So cities are markets now huh? The capitalist machine has completely and irreversiblely made you it's bitch. What's next? referring to citizens as consumers?

SHM

[The Fake Shemp]

When they talk about market penetration, I assume we're trying to fuck the consumers.

You sir, are 100% correct in your assumption.

EAST COAST BABY! 

[The Fake Shemp]

I'm not sure how long this will take.  The sooner the better.  There were talks of having me possibly co-manage a store or be a floating manager if a position was not open immediately.

[The Fake Shemp]

I'm assuming it's soon because we got marketing for it weeks ago, but we haven't gotten a date or anything.

[abrader]

im not sure i could leave cali for DC - unless there was a bucket of money there.

Ever think of trying a new place in Cali?

I personally prefer north california.

[The Fake Shemp]

I've been to SoCal and the Bay Area.  I don't know if I'm ready to move back to SoCal.  I haven't made up my mind on any place - yet.

[DJ_Tet]

Charlotte is pretty cool.  There is a nice Gamestop on South Tryon, decent area of town, up and coming.  That would be a total mindfuck to walk into GS and see Willco there.

Lots of movies being made in NC too.

[Mandark]

North Carolina is the new north Virginia.

[Bacon]

But obviously moving here was my biggest mistake.

Didn't you move there to be closer to CrystalGemini? 

[The Fake Shemp]

We broke up over a year ago, Bacon.  She's not the sole reason I'm moving.  I've just been dealt a bum hand up here, as anyone who knows things behind-the-scenes can attest to and it's time to move on.

[The Fake Shemp]

Transformers is shooting in D.C.?  DECISION MADE.

[Human Snorenado]

Final Destinations: Seattle metropolitan area, Los Angeles metropolian area, D.C. metropolitan area and - for kicks - most of North Carolina.

I TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM ME

NC is a pretty cool state.  Whatever you want, we got.  Mountains, beaches, smart people, hill people and black people.  We got it all!  Well, not huge metropolitan areas, but nice moderately sized cities.

[The Fake Shemp]

I'm going to the Outer Banks for vacation.  It's also within striking distance of my family.

[GilloD]

DC is for losers! New York is the win, but North Carolina is fuck nice and completely inoffensive. Do that

[The Fake Shemp]

If I move to the D.C. metropolitan area - it'd be the Maryland side.

[DJ_Tet]

NC is actually one of my choices for when I graduate.  I've never been there, but it somehow made my list that also includes Texas, Phoenix, San Diego, and certain parts of Florida. 

With my luck, I'll probably end up in Wisconsin.  At that point, i'd rather just be in Michigan.

Sounds like NC would be too cold for your tastes.  We actually have all four seasons here, it gets pretty damn cold in the winter at times. 

[Homemade Milk]

awww  i hope i wasnt the reason for you leaving, ive changed my ways.

but anyways you could always move to israel

Out here on the coast the "winter" isn't too bad, imo.  It hasn't snowed in Wilmington in like 20 years apparently.  As someone who used to live in the more mountainous part of the state (Asheville) I do know that it does snow heavily in some places, but don't forget the coast!

[DJ_Tet]

That's true, I mean it hasn't snowed in Charlotte in a couple of years.  It's definitely no Michigan or even West Virginia when it comes to Winter, I was just judging by the other places he listed.  NC is much colder than any of those other climates (I think San Diego gets chilly but not like NC I'd wager.)

[Fragamemnon]

I really can't recommend NC highly enough. It's diverse, sports a great mix of rural, suburban, and urban areas, is relatively cheap to live in, and has lots of activities.

Dunno about the movie business here. The Triangle area (Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, where I live) is getting pretty decent for game development.

[Mandark]

If I move to the D.C. metropolitan area - it'd be the Maryland side.

Yay. Then we can hang out and I can use you to pick up girls, by telling them you're a crazy man, and I take care of you while I'm not helping the orphans or the sick dogs.

You gotta reciprocate.  Half the time Willco will be the hobo you've taken under your wing, and the other half you'll be the at-risk youth whose future he's saving via the Big Brother program.

[The Fake Shemp]

I just caught wind that a relatively new store just miles away from both my parents' house, my sibilings, Montgomery College, etc. might be opening up.  Haven't heard anything on North Carolina, yet.

I'm sure there's a gazillion stores in NC you could probably go to.  Hell, there's like 7 or 8 GS just in the Wilmington area alone, and we're a small city of about 100,000 people.  Also, from my past history and casual shopping trips some of them are run pretty poorly!

[The Fake Shemp]

I want a Store Manager opening, though.  I don't want to sit as an ASM 'till one opens up.

That's understandable, but at the same time beggars can't really be choosers ya know?  Also in my experience if someone is talented room will be made.  There's always someone out there underachieving, you know?  Thank god I don't have anyone wanting my bullshit "job", that's all I'm saying!

[The Fake Shemp]

All managers' bonus scorecards are heavily weighed by rentention, so no manager - district or store level - is going to fire an employee for anything less than inventory problems or loss prevention.  So it's not THAT easy.  There might be an opening, but I don't know.  Nothing, yet.

Maryland does look promising, though.  Unfortunately, the DM is out and all information is from the district's acting DM.  The DM may have very well found a replacement.

[xnikki118x]

That kind of sucks because you can have an employee who just sucks, but doesn't break any rules. And you have to keep them because of retention. Weak.


East coast rocks!

[The Fake Shemp]

Why the hell would I live near Eastover?

[The Fake Shemp]

Eastover sucks.

[The Fake Shemp]

Eastover is on my map of places that I would not move to.

There's a managers position here at one in Eastover!

Oh and if you happen to work at one that has Kingdom Hearts GBA, let me know. Ive been looking for this game for MONTHS.

It's TERRBLE

I think there is a GameStop opening up on MILF Island, to service the MILF needs for Wii Fit and other Wii accessories!
