  • He got offered a promotion where leaving, because he decided to leave.

    That promotion was always available but only offered when was necessary. They likely were having that labor for free without the promotion and just riding on his goodwill.

    That said now the decision is simpler, why would you like to stay where you were not valued for your quality of work?

    Yeah the new job can be all kinds of different but is additional experience and OP indicates he loves the move. To me, this is an easy one.






  • Hope your treatment has been defined, and if not, you’ll be in the best place to do it. This is no longer a death sentence but a manageable illness when detected early.

    Now do this:

    Breakfast at Dennis or an American food chain like IHOP. Personally, the grand slam is a ton of “freedom food” and gives you insight into how the median people look like where you go.

    Get barbecue, I’m not sure it aligns with your treatment, but BBQ and Mexican food are engraved in the Texas way of life. Get shocked with how good Mexican food is as cooked by real mexicans. Tacos al pastor has a lot of Middle Eastern heritage try at least once.

    Go get groceries at Walmart. Then, the next time, do HEB, then go to the Whole Foods. See the difference and identify the typical customer check where’s is best for you to get groceries.

    Get to the register anywhere and see how tax that is not listed anywhere is part of the total price instead of the label on the product is, that is rarely the final price.

    Now that you’re doing treatment, ask others what insurance they have and how they’re sorting the bills and what’s covered. That is a fucking rabbit hole that people ignore until they have to use medical care.

    Car centric society: Sit in traffic for endless miles as walking and public transport is not an option. If you’re daring enough, try to walk somewhere outside “downtown.” It is likely more complex than anywhere in the world. The rest of the world wouldn’t know why until they try.

    Museums and entertainment: go anywhere where’s art and culture. We’re not Vienna or Paris, but there are a lot of beautiful places to see and get these beautiful things carried over with you. I’m sure you’ll have time in between treatments to do this, and it is certainly great to get acquainted on this slow learning. Also, it will make interesting conversations that are neither political nor religious.

    Yeah, there are shooting ranges and stuff with guns, strip clubs whre you can’t touch or fuck the girls as its illegal in almost all places but in NV I think. Sincerely, I think they’re overrated, but if that gets you going go for it.

    Based there if your budget allows go places for a weekend: Chicago, NYC, LAX, MIA, Washington DC and Denver are short flights from the Houston Dallas megalopolis.

    Hope you get healthy, live long and prosper.
