Guess I should update, since we've been back from the woods for a number of days now. I think I'm experiencing cabin hangover. It's kind of like cabin fever, except that it is the desire to remain inside the cabin, and never leave. Ever.
We had a blast, needless to say. It was secluded, with a river in our backyard, a hot tub off our deck, and even a freaking washer and dryer for our clothes, complete with little packets of laundry soap. Heaven, my friends, heaven. Expensive heaven, but sometimes you just have to splurge a little.
Now we're back, and we're both mildly depressed. I'm still mired in this whole job ending in less than two weeks thing, while trying to ensure that I can get unemployment instead of being roped into another job within the same federation. I got this sort of offer for a position that doesn't really exist yet, but it does not appeal to me at all, so I called the woman today and left a message for her. Waited all day for her to call me back. About 4:30, her boss shows up for another meeting, so I mention that I left her a message. He then tells me that her dog died today, so she took the day off. Christ. What an awesome time she's going to have. Losing her dog and then me rejecting her offer when she gets back.
I almost feel bad, but at the same time, after three years in this nonprofit, I'm ready, dying, in desperate need, of a change. Even if that means uncertainty and no insurance.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed. It makes it rather difficult to type, though.
Yeah, I didn't think it was funny, either. Inwardly, I groaned as I typed that.

obd:
I think itsx actually written in law that you cannot refuse an opportunity to work in your field and then collect unemployment. Have you figured out the health insurance thing?

You are stronger than you know.
