June 4th, 2006choices, choices
So the new guy (also known as: comes-in-hungover guy) was fired on Thursday night.
Friday I was told I was going to the conference in DC.
Yesterday we got here.
Last night I got an offer from my current company that beat the other’s offer—just barely—but it’s a significant raise and a new title.
Said offer would mean: no moving, no learning anything new, no new town, etc. It would also mean that my stress level will probably not decrease and I’ll still be working overtime (although compensation time is going to be one of my caveats).
I don’t really know what to do. Part of me is craving a change of scenery and a change of pace—new friends, new job, new city to explore… the other part says it’ll just be so much easier staying where I am—old friends, a job I usually like, a city I know, the ocean nearby, etc., etc.
Why does being grownup mean you have to make such hard decisions?
it just does kiddo.
besides, easier does not mean better.

Life is pain.
Good luck with that.

Hm. That’s just it. It’s not math. There are no wrong answers in this game.
Better to have a choice than no choice, though, n’est-ce pas?

I say go where it is warmer. Of couse, I live in an Arctic wasteland so what do I know…
Follow your gut.

Actually I’m quite happy these last few days, now that my liver has slowed it’s attempts to kill me and I’ve returned to work and life.
