Quote: Since I don't really know WHAT to do, I'm not going to do anything for now and just see how things unfold.
Now, if I'd said that, you'd praise me for what I am about to praise you: Not doing anything is a decision, too. And, given the circumstances, I don't think it's a bad one. I think it's a good sign that he want to talk through the job with you, even if it's a bit belated. Maybe, if it turns out that, in the "talking through," it starts sounding like a bad choice to both of you, he can go to his boss and say, "Ya know, I've spoken with management, and she said, and I agree with her, that this being the autumn of my years, I should spend it renting boogie boards at the beach instead of on the phone, riding a desk. So, take this job and shove it."
Just be the loving, compassionate ball-buster we all know, and all will be right with the world.
