As for those long, lonely drives across the reservation, why would you want to leave? You're right next tof Glen Canyon NRA, not that far from Grand Canyon & Bryce Canyon National Parks, and much else.

Yes, compared to Afghanistan, it is paradise.
The district website says "Live where others vacation!" I wonder how magical Disney employees find their respective parks.
I imagine I would spend my breaks visiting family, just like I did in the Army.
I tried to work on my Civic instead of driving to Page on Friday.
If I tried to leave town, I would probably spend thirty minutes driving, and thirty minutes waiting for my engine to cool down, unless I hit hills...
I rented this car Friday night:
Mitsubishi Mirage Reviews - Mitsubishi Mirage Price, Photos, and Specs - Car and Driver
The girl kept trying to get me to super-size to the Versa. I think that was the last car that I rented, thus far a rather uninspiring thing.
Not that I expect to be singing praises about the Mirage. My Civic is seventeen years older, but has a 28% better power-to-weight ratio, and a smarter transmission--me!
I need to figure out how to shift that ammo box, just flooring it keeps me above 5,000 RPM until I eventually reach the speed limit.
This illegitimate child does not have cruise control.
I found and applied to thirty-five places in fifteen days, which is more than I had ever found. I had a Skype interview with someone in Mom's hometown that advertised for a permanent full-time position, but it was neither permanent nor full-time. She wanted me to take over a smaller caseload than I currently have (which is inadequate), for less pay, so she can consider selling her business. If there were not enough deal-killers, she seemed indifferent about everything but having someone take over for her as soon as possible.
It sounds like she does not like her own company.
I asked far more questions than she did.
She offered me the job and I declined.
I have only had one other response, but I am not sure how many employers recruit over the weekend. I have an interview on Monday with an agency that claims "No two clients are ever further than 15 minutes apart, unless agreed to."
I agreed to all of my clients, whether they were 5 or 45 minutes apart.
I want work.
I feel like I will know whether or not I am supposed to move to Page when I get there.
I should really get to bed first.
