I've come to the conclusion that I no longer wish to make my current employer profitable. I cannot reconcile destructive or unproductive acts while I collect a paycheck, so in order to remedy this problem, I need to look for another job. So I have.

In my search I've found a few opportunities. Some have not panned out, after I drove four hours for a 30 minute interview. Dicks.

Others have stated I'll be getting an offer tomorrow. They've promised me riches.

Still others have stated they will not make an offer that will be turned down. They've promised me challenges.

But in the midst of my search a successful little company that makes aircraft simulators has approached me. They do the kind of work I went to college for; I wanted to make video games back then, as I would now, with the exception that the goal be realism rather than fun would I work with these people.

This is so seemingly perfect for what I want to do with my life, that it's the type of opportunity that may only afford itself once.

Of course I may never be afforded the financial security, or the chance to truly test my mental mettle, again. Regardless, I know myself well enough to predict what I will choose.

I know that, even with just the slightest chance at getting this job where I will be doing the kind of work I've always wanted to, I will forsake all other opportunities. It is the unswaying optimist in me who overrides on such decisions. Thus far he's led me down many a murky path between ruin and fortune, their ends lay out of sight to me Today. For reasons that were at the time entirely unrelated, or merely masked some divine intention, I've been lead to this opportunity.

I could rationalize letting it slip from my grasp for any number of reasons. But thus far I've never betrayed my optimist, and I have a hard time recalling many occasions where he's betrayed me. How can I turn my back on him now?

You might be the first person I've encountered on the boards to actually offer up a sound logical argument counter to one of my own while doing a very good job of comprehending my intention. Bravo! I hope to have more of the same from you in the future.
