If the boss in NOLA could provide you with a bridge until you settle in there, I say take it. You will do good for them, even if the only good they do for you is a paycheck.
this. It'd give you a bridge to be in Nola, rent s place, then really look for something awesome.

If NOLA is what you would like to do, it doesn't hurt to try.
Maybe we need another NOLA F2F...
Ugh, smonster's company, how so crappy? But I hope you stay solvent long enough to get her to where she so clearly belongs.
smonster, damn. That sucks a lot, but it also sounds like you'll better off to be rid of them.
I just don't want to be employed by them when they go bankrupt, if that happens - would I be eligible for unemployment, then?
I can't say with certainty, but I'd expect so. No fault of your own and all. You might miss the last paycheck though. Still, it's a bridge, not a foundation.
I don't know the laws in every state, but you should be. You should be eligible for unemployment now, as long as you weren't fired for committing a crime or anything.
I am eligible for unemployment. Trying to file a claim right now, but the online shit is wonky, so I guess I'll have to do it over the phone. Need to eat lunch, first. Or rather find something to eat while I'm on hold.
I'm sorry to hear the news, smonster, but I'm more in awe right now at how in a short span of time you're already planning for what comes next. You rock!
Aw, thanks, Burrell. I'm doing it all on a couch under a blanket with a cat between my feet, so it's fairly painless. And I might as well use the adrenaline while I've got it. I really need to tackle my resume, but I'm not up for that right now.
Next question to ponder... do I go ahead and give notice to my landlady? Should probably line up a place to crash here, first. But I need to do it soon, if I'ma do it. Hmm. I sure don't want to be locked into a year lease, so maybe I might as well.
do I go ahead and give notice to my landlady?
If you're serious about moving to New Orleans, then I think that's where you are. Things are lining up in a certain way where it seems better to go forward.
smonster, I'm so sorry. But yes, I think this means you go to NOLA, which would be great for you.
Fredpete, I am sorry. You are the best kitty daddy I know.
Bears repeating. I'm so, so sorry about the kitty.
Help me hivemind: what was the OTC cough suppressant thing everyone was talking about? I need to get some for Pete.
