Trying to find my way

[Meghan]

H. and I walked to do errands this afternoon, and as we were walking, he mentioned that a month or so ago someone he used to work for sent him an IM because his company's looking to hire. H. is trying to set up a job interview while he's on his visit home.

H. said that the guy who IMed him works from home two or three days a week. This suggests to me that it might not be a remote job. However, the guy he talked to doesn’t have the same kind of job, so I don’t know if it’s normal that he would be in the office or not, or what would be expected of H.

I'm feeling freaked out now that he's applying for a job that he hasn't specified is a remote position (which is what he says he’s been applying for recently). Of course I want him to have a job and to be happy, and I think it would help him so, so much right now, but the possibility of him leaving scares me all the same. I didn't ask any more about it, because he's previously gotten angry and feels guilty when I try to suss out if a job is remote or not because he feels like I don’t want him to be happy. I just said that it sounded interesting and asked some neutral questions about what the work would be like and what the company does, but the internal freak out is raging on.
