Life is looming. Lurking? We are smashed against a decision that we don't really want to make. Rose has been offered a job in Georgia, just too far outside Atlanta to live there. And just far enough away that it seems to not have any of the benefits of living in Atlanta. Really, we'd much rather stay here, in Appleton, but neither has any job prospects of the sort that could support our family. For now, we're fine both working part time, but if we're going to stay here, we need more.
So, there's the job in Atlanta, and then Rose has an interview coming up early this week in San Luis Obispo. A job there would be great if not for the fact that it's three flights from Appleton, and a three-day drive. But I suppose if I had to choose, I would choose going back to California and a city that we know is great, over moving to Georgia and living in the worst suburban sprawl I've ever seen.
Then there's me. I just applied for a job in the bike industry for which I am eminently qualified. Of course that means nothing regarding whether or not I'll get it, but I feel like I have at least a decent shot. That job may be in California as well, though insofar as it's a writing job, I'm hoping it can be done from anywhere, with regular visits to the company's headquarters. If the pay is decent, that would allow us to stay here.
I'm not putting to much stock in either of our California jobs. I try not to get to excited one way or the other about this stuff. As of yet, there's nothing to any of it. We're just as likely to have to move in with our parents in six months, though I really hope that's not what happens.
