Moving back to South Carolina

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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
