one of the gals from my small group at work is in a real bind right now. she bid on a job in grand forks, north dakota and got it. it's a good step up for her -- gets her back to the part of the country where her family is and boosts her up a couple of pay grades.
the problem? as it turns out grand forks has a dearth of rental units. there's an air force base just outside of town. there is a university in town. and a flood wiped out a bunch of housing just a couple of years ago. once the college kids descend in mid-summer, there's no pot left to ... well, you know.
she flew out there last week, planning on looking at some units she had arranged to see. by the time she got there, they were gone. tacky on their part. she has two dogs and isn't willing to part with them so her options become even more limited.
when she was talking with me about it today, she started crying. i felt so bad. this is a gal who has faith and believes 'what will be will be' but her stress level had taken her to the breaking point. i just hope things work out for her -- i think she would be happy being back in the midwest.
