Good questions Michelle.

Well, I already got a response from the resume, talked to the owner over the phone, and have an interview tomorrow at 2:00.

From what I can tell it isn't more money than I'm making now, but has full benefits (paid 100%, nice). No 401K. It's also extremely structured, with no flexibility on schedule. Strange for a start-up, but it seems the guy's still figuring out how to run things.

I've been thinking about how much more confidence I had when doing customer support and sales. Dealing with people can be a pain, but I'm good at it and it's good for me. After losing my job the second time in April, I just felt really beat down. It affected interaction with W a lot.

If W and I were still together, benefits would be a lot more important. W has had COBRA, but that runs out in 6 months.

I don't really know how to sort out the pros and cons in a way that doesn't involve her. Hopefully I won't have to choose right away if an offer comes. For now I just want to have a good interview.
