OK I think Cinco's other interview is going on right about now! Sending good interview vibes and all the angels who are in charge of employment to Cinco's side right now!
WooHoo! Cinco has employment! After the interview with the job 'A', I decided to accept the job 'B' offer and will be starting on Monday. The scoop on job 'A' is it seemed like it would be a great place to work, the environment was great, good growth potential... then I found out the developers are working 80 hour weeks and would be for the next couple of years. Even after that the normal work week was about 60 hours.
Sorry... Cinco is no workaholic, "Life is too short to spend it here." Here being the office.
So after a talk with Mrs. Cinco I accepted offer 'B' before it disappeared. I did like all the people that I would be working with there and that is the most important thing. Also my time is so important to me. The next two years and my D will be grown and on her own. I want as much time as possible with her. Once these years are gone I can't get them back.
Besides how can I ever hope to have the intimacy that I want so much if I am exhausted constantly from work? I know this is the right choice for me and my family at the time.
Thanks for all the angels, vibes, thoughts and prayers. My mom even had her friends praying for me. I just knew I would find something when the time was right and with enough help.
I know the job acquisition will take a -tremendous- load off of your shoulders, and will also relieve a great deal of the stress in your relationship too.

Also, may I seriously say how impressed I am that you weighed the intangibles before deciding? There is only so much of anyone to go around and I sometimes wonder if half of SSMs aren't at least *in part* because of over-commitment to one's job, be that job inside or outside the home.
Well done.
