I Never Thought I Would Be Excited About This Again

The universe never ceases to amaze me.

Mooooo

Over the summer, I spoke with my sister about how I was considering looking for a remote job. Partly, so I am not wandering in space, and partly for more financial stability.

I am in the process of relocating completely to Colombia and buying land. Which can be expensive, plus the costs of buying a place, and I am solely dependent on the algorithm to make money.

Which works when I have no obligations or responsibilities. Yet, if I buy a place and have animals, I will have commitments and responsibilities.

Last week I arrived in Medellin, where I am staying with a friend. We began talking about work, our activities, and my plans. As she knows, I usually have no plans, but I came in with many plans this time.

She knew I wanted to live here and buy land, and then I said I was considering looking for a remote job for stability since I would be taking on a lot soon.

She said I have a friend who is hiring, and she sent me the info. He told her how he usually hires here in Colombia, and she explained that I lived in Colombia and was looking for a job.

We got in contact, and I had an interview. I am now waiting to see if he offers me the job.
