Don’t worry about making me feel bad, rayanne. I’m actually doing pretty well right now. And by no means feel like you’re butting in. If I didn’t want people to “but in”, I’ve got no business posting things.
As to the job… I really don’t think I have a choice at this point. One of my 180s has been to let W spend on things to make her life easier. The renovations, etc. have cost us a fortune. I have four kids, so karate, singing lessons, drum lessons, kick boxing, driving lessons, etc.etc.etc. have become part of our lifestyle and it’s my responsibility to support that. So, not taking the job would be more of a risk to the progress I’ve made with W.
So. I’ve resigned myself to taking the job. That isn’t to say that I won’t keep my eye open for other options. You never know when an opportunity will arise.
The job is about 300 miles from where I live/work. I will be able to come home on weekends. I’m hoping that I can swing it so that I’ll only work Mon-Thu and will therefore be able to leave Sun. night, returning Thu night. I may even be able to rent/lease a car instead of flying. The downside of that is that I don’t want to burn myself out (again) with whacky hours and a 5 hour commute each way.
