This is just amazingly good timing but at the same time bad timing...
First the bad. My soon to be fiance's mom is moving out of state and she has nowhere to stay while I get settled, my unemployment is running out a week before I have to be in Houston,Tx for training and I am in mesa, AZ, I have absolutely no money saved plus I owe my roommate $1000 from just before I got fired from my other job (that I used to buy the scoot I have) and if I sell the scoot to make the money to move she wants all of it...
The good. The job is with hostgator, its just taking calls and doing things I do every day on my own websites and stuff. I would get $11.50 an hour, 401k, 3weeks a year paid vacation, free lunch every day, a "be you, have fun" work environment. And POSSIBLY some sort of relocation assistance if I qualify.
I'm 23,turning 24 in Aug. And if I got this job now I would be a happy Guy and on one good start to my life.... it just sounds too good to be true!
(As I type this I see the news saying there were tornados in Texas.... I better have a basement!!)
Something I would like to ask all of the Texans here... where in Northwest Houston would I be able to get a weekly apartment till I get my second check(or first if its bi-weekly checks)? Any recommendations? Anyone have a spare room they would rent me? Hope all of your family are safe, I'm calling mine in liberty hill and Dallas in the morning.

congrats on the new job... i would sell anything you have of value now to make this big move a little easier. perhaps your new employer could help find a place for you.

Exactly, selling a computer and probably my scoot. Wish I could bring that with me tho cause i don't want to take the bus lol.
Seriously the only possessions I really have are my two computers (server and my gaming rig) and my scoot, other than that is clothes, bedding and a dresser of paperwork (most can be trashed). I have so little its just crazy

If you sell your computers it will cost you a lot more to buy one in Houston, unless you are picking up a cheap one off craigslist, same with the scooter. Houston is a big city and a freeway capable scooter would be really needed in my opinion.
I'd just make an agreement with the roommate to send her a hundred bucks a month for a eleven month period that way she gets a little interest and you don't loose a friend, hopefully.

Screw buying built computers... I will buy my parts online and build it.. same price or less than what I payed before.. maybe go for 8-core instead of 6... but I think the Phenom II is better than the FX series. Not sure tho till I try it.
I said the same.. I will pay extra if you don't screw me out of getting there..lol
Oh and I asked about relocation assistance, not for my position but the next level up lol

The rule in the Sailing Community is, Sell it and you can always buy another one. Scarf them up on CL. whatever. You would be surprised how much stuff you don't need.
Hit CL for local housing it is the bomb.
Is HostGator and 1freehosting the same. I heard/saw somewhere where gator hosting was 1freehosting, or 1freehosting was a beta for gator, U know what I mean.
1freehosting died out, I used them for Wordpress and as a cloud for pictures. They probably cut me off being there 2 years and not spending any money,,Ha Ha..
A tech rep for newbees on php scripts and all that jazz sounds like a pain but someone has to do it, Better than GoDaddy.. HaHa

I don't know for sure but I don't think so. They may be using hostgator resources but that doesn't mean its a part of hostgator.
I already know how little I need lol. Like I said I have the two computers, my clothes, bed coverings and basically a bunch of paperwork from court and the like. My girlfriend however has a 5x10 storage full of stuff and can't fit everything in... then again she has a kid so.
