21981. iiibbb - 6/13/2007 8:59:25 PM No you missunderstand... my current job only has 6 months left on it. After that I'm unimployeed... it has become increasingly apparent that as much as we like it where we are, I'm going to have a hard time getting a job here, unless I leave and try to come back later.
I think I could live at this place. She is skeptical, but it is true she and I don't know much about the place. I was only there for a day and a half and didn't really get a chance to see the town.
It is hot (she's from Syracuse and she get's a little irrational about heat).
It is far away from family and friends (not that we can't make more friends).
We are talking about kids (I'm worried about a support network for her... but it is also an argument for one of us needing to take a permanent position and preferably me).
There are also some intangibles about moving there.
I suspect we(I) would have to stay there a minimum of 3 years in order to produce something and leverage a move elsewhere if it just wasn't working out.
The position she might get would also be a really good springboard for her... so she could actually be the one leveraging something to get us out of there.
I wish we could delay the kid thing a little longer, but we are at the age where we can't really put it off any more. 21982. iiibbb - 6/13/2007 9:01:35 PM If we do go, I sure as hell better not fuck this opportunity up... but that's a whole other problem.
The job description is litterally "build a program in XXX". No other rules. No teaching requirement either... just research. 21983. iiibbb - 6/13/2007 9:02:44 PM bleck... I want it, but I don't know if I can have it.
Luckily I have some time. The official offer won't come for a time. 21984. Ms. No - 6/13/2007 9:20:52 PM So you can't tell us where? We're all agog waiting to see if any of us knows the area. ;->
21985. arkymalarky - 6/14/2007 2:29:27 AM Yeah, at least give us a state. Heat is an issue, and the humidity. 21986. iiibbb - 6/14/2007 3:48:38 AM Mississippi 21987. concerned - 6/14/2007 5:06:57 AM 
Say, does raw horsemeat flavor make it sushi ice cream?
21988. concerned - 6/14/2007 5:09:46 AM I've heard of somebody coming out with pizza flavored beer, with actual pieces of pizza in it.
Sorry, that idea's been covered. It's called 'vomit'. 21989. arkymalarky - 6/14/2007 6:26:25 AM Mississippi. Oh.
We Arkies have a saying, "Thank God for Mississippi."
You'd probably like the people there, though. 21990. arkymalarky - 6/14/2007 6:28:53 AM Sorry, that idea's been covered. It's called 'vomit'
