Stuck between a rock and a hard place...

So y’all know I’m from Houston. I’ve been here all my life, since I was born. For nearly the past 17 months, I haven’t had a job since being laid off. While searching, I remained focused on school full time. Hundreds of applications, and only 4 or 5 interviews later, I’m still not working. Well, thanks to a relative in ATL, I got a pretty good offer. So, it looks like I could be moving to Atlanta soon. Great, right? Well, not really. They want me to start ASAP but the only problem is I have a court appointment in 3 weeks that I can’t back out of. I really am looking forward to moving and it would be a nice change of scenery. However, it might not happen if I can’t get around this damn court thing.
