Curtis needed to make a change. And by that I mean a major change. I have known him for over four years and for most of that time I have heard him state a variation of the phrase, “man, I really need a change.” The interesting part of this is that he has lived in the same studio apartment and worked at the same job the entire time I have known him. In fact, it’s when I began working for the company that we first met. In Curtis’ defense, I will say that he has dated three different women in the time that I have known him, so that has changed some, although they all had blonde hair, so there wasn’t that much of a change.
With all of the above information in mind, it shouldn’t be much of a surprise when I add to it that he recently quit his job and moved to Atlanta, Georgia. Okay, that’s a slight exaggeration, he didn’t actually quit his job but requested a relocation transfer and moved as soon as it was granted. What is really strange is that Curtis has only been in Atlanta once before and that was six months ago when he stayed in one of the hotels Atlanta while looking for a house to rent. It turns out that Curtis had finally decided he was going to move to another city and actually had it narrowed down to a choice between Chicago, Illinois and Denver, Colorado. So, how did he end up in Atlanta? It’s a good question, but not as good as the answer.
It turns out that Curtis had narrowed down his choice of cities two years ago and was just never able make a final decision. One day he decided he had had enough of this and was simply going to flip a coin. Just as he dug out a quarter an old friend from high school called him. He told his friend his dilemma and how he had decided to leave it to chance when his friend jokingly told him he should just move to Atlanta, where he lived. And that was all it took. A didn’t believe he would actually go through with all of this until the day he cleaned out his desk and the next day I saw him drive off with his U-haul. And now I’m left here missing him and am toying with the idea of submitting my own change of location request.
