For me, there's always the "concern" that I might have to take work out of province (or even in province, but remote) so I do need to keep options available.
As much as I have been "selfish" about not negotiating and giving away my time with the kids, the reality is... if I get offered an appropriate and well paying job, I want to be able to consider it. Always the goal being somewhat temporary, until a new schedule can be worked out...
anyhow, too many words I say above...
Just saying that right now a theme around here seems to be... do something different... and unexpected... and see what happens...
