Moving back to South Carolina

Recommended Posts

As some of you may or may not know, I have been living in the Dominican Republic for the past 6 years. Last year, I lost my job with one company, and was quickly hired by another company here. Both companies hired me through the US, so I never needed a work visa or residency. A few months ago, my position was eliminated at the new company, and since the immigration laws changed here, I have been unable to find work without either a work visa or residency. Both of these require me to go back to the US to start the process of obtaining said documents. My wife and I decided that I would go back home to Greenville, SC and get a job there. Call centers are always hiring there, and I have about 20 years of experience. I am confident that I can start at the bottom and work my way up quickly to management, or better yet, be hired directly into management, due to my experience. So I will be back within a couple of weeks in Panther Country. I cannot wait to be able to join the Roaring Riot tailgates and go back to the games. Having to watch them all online has been a pain. 

 

TL/DR: Due to job changes, OP is moving back to Greenville, SC in the near future. Wish me luck in the job search when I get back up there.

Best of luck to you! Sorry, you are going through all that. Let me know when you get settled in and want to get beat in a game of pool. 

(You are the expert pool player right? I think we played years ago didn't we? Old age is catching up to me.) 

Yeah, we played a few years ago. I will definitely let you know when everything gets settled.

I dont know your circumstances but would resist being hell bent of SC as a landing spot.  There are some good things going on in NC and Ga for instance that would bring you back to the vicinity and give you a wider range of opportunities.

My family i in SC, my Mom is getting older, and I will be staying with her. She is having cataract surgery in March, so the timing is actually perfect. Also, I work in the call center industry, and Greenville is a hotbed of call centers. Being able to stay with Mom and save money so that I can pay the immigration fees to bring my family to the states is a great help. Greenville is growing while the rest of the state is falling behind.

So today is the day. Honestly this is the hardest thing I have ever done. Having to leave my family for who knows how long while  the immigration process goes through, and not being able to hold my wife or my 5 year old is going to be tough. I know it is the best thing for us, and it will all work out, but damn it is hard.

    • Mike Davis is like yeah, why would these coaches expect me to watch film on our next opponent if I'm playing good.  Yeah, I really don't pay attention to a lot of stuff around me if I'm doing good.   also Mike Davis, how dare they give all the reps to CMC.  from just listening to that interview, I think Mike Davis likely was often in Mike Davis' way and he can't comprehend that aspect.  Even his story of why he hated people.....was weird.  He hated Steve Spurrier because Spurrier was like hey Mike, Marcus Lattimore left...and we need you to step up into that role/void and be more for us.   And Mike Davis was like, can you believe that motha trucka!! Nah Steve.  Just give me the ball and leave me alone (paraphrasing it all obviously but that was the gist). 
    • Unless he's 1,000%, just sit him an extra week at this point to let him get his legs back under him. I want to see him out there as much as the next guy, but this was a serious thing and I'd rather wait an extra week than put him out one day too early and risk something going wrong, play the long game for once.
    • God, these posts are really starting to piss me off If we're relying on Moore, Idzik, and Canales to carry that weight, then we're royally screwing over our young WR room.  It's not that those guys can't help with some of it, but these young promising WRs are going to miss out on a lot of learning that can only be provided by the vets on the team.   You do realize that coaches spend ZERO time in the locker room, right?   They are only in there just before games and at halftime, but the rest of the week, they have their own locker room, they only spend time with the players on the field and in the film room.  There is soooooo much time that you're leaving unaccounted for where players are working together to get better. Players are constantly talking about their game and how they can improve while they're in the locker room.  If you think career long special teamer David Moore is going to be able to carry that water in the locker room, then you're sorely and woefully mistaken. Even beyond that, if a coach pulls a player aside to give advice between series, that still means there are 4-5 other WRs who aren't getting individual advice, where that's normally a time a vet like Thielen is going over with them what he's seeing out there and how they can do X, Y, or Z to do A, B, or C better on the next drive.
