I lost the job with NASA because I couldn't conform to their immediate travel schedule.
That's ok. I know now I should be in town for some other important things coming up. The kids' first day of school, my son's birthday, the Dirty Girl race that Morri will be in.
I have other irons in the fire...

...working on negotiating a start date on this job while they work on answering my questions.
Being able to hold off starting until after Labor Day would definitely be a help right now.

...the job will require me to be away from home a lot. That means not seeing my kids and Morri... no physical contact with any of them. That is painful compromise.
Of course it might not be a long term situation. Eventually, it might let me see MORE of them all, plus stabilize my income and have better benefits to boot.
But right now, I have two contracts that I am comfortably involved in that will provide the equivalent income as this one, without having to miss anyone - it just means I will probably work some longer hours and pay more for less benefits.
I'm torn.
But... if they answer my questions satisfactorily, I think I'm going to go for it.
*deep breath and hold it*

I got the job!
Now I have to decide if I want the job...

...submitted my background check and waiting on the drug screening instructions.
Contingent offer in hand and waiting on approvals...
When it rains... it pours.
But I still have the challenge of getting customers to pay their damn bills in the meantime.

I know you do because they are brilliant. Their schedule was completely unrealistic for pretty much anyone with a shred of a life.

Isn't NASA firing people? O.o
It will work out for the best, chin up and all that. :)

Sorry dude- I wish you better luck- maybe it was just keeping you still for the better job to come along.

You don't know me like these other folks seem to do, but I wanted to let you know and remind you of the famous words spoken by Brandon Lee. "Can't Rain all the Time."
Rather then rewriting what I just wrote in my journal lost night, I would like to direct your attention to my latest entry entitle Love, Darkness and Sailor Moon. I truly believe there are some things in there you might find useful.
Please know that so many people are praying, conducting rituals, ceremonies and all kinds of thing for people who are struggling in this hard time. Please remember, if nothing else, always Love, build strong friendships, keep the Faith, never lose hope and Dream.

How can offering support manifest itself in such a fucked up way?
