Georgia...why did I move here!

11/1/2007
My family and I moved here from MN after the company that I was working for transferred me. We were very excited to move her and thought of the move as a "New Life". We were able to find a beautiful home to rent were my daughters elementary school is just around the corner. After working with this company for 3 months in Georgia, not even enough time to get over the debt we encored from the move, they laid me of due to lack of work within the company. Great!!! Now at first i was not scared..im a smart, and able individual. Well, I have been searching for employment for over a month now. I have gone on several interviews to never hear back. I have never in my life encountered this before. I have found the business here to be very unorganized and extremely rude. Not only was i laid off immediatly..but we also received letters that the home we are renting is going up for foreclosure. The owner never paid the mortgage since the day my family and I moved in. Now we are over a thousand miles away from home...savings gone...job gone...roof over our head is soon to be gone...just a lovely experience. I have learned that GA is infested with Con artists, and liars. I wish we had stayed in MN where life was peaceful. I wouldn’t trade snow to my knees and a frozen car battery for Georgia's sunshine ever again. Now the only hard part is how to get out of here. Moral of the story…the grass isn’t always greener on the other side…why i never listen, I have no IDEA!
