For really real, with an actual salary that doesn't totally insult me and everything!

There's a catch! Of course there's a catch!

It's my old job! In Maine! Rural eastern Maine! And it doesn't come with insurance! But it's a 50% raise over what I make now so I can probably afford to pay the penalty and go to the Dominican if I actually need medical care! But with the cost of living factored in it's probably only a 25% raise! ECHGF hates the idea of moving to Maine! But she'd get prime bartending shifts in the summer and be able to work part-time and go to school the rest of the year even though she hates the cold! I love the idea of being back in charge of a kitchen where I can actually cook awesome food the way I want to cook it! But I also still hate being cold!

I am completely torn, PD!

Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"

That's great!

OR

Damn!  That sucks.



How do you think the stability of the job is up there?  A year, two years?

That's a tough one.

On one hand, money and power.
On the other, you seem to really be enjoying WA.

Could this be used to propel you to doing something on your own, like a truck or something?

Don't you love Seattle, though?

A lot?

Actually I fell out of love with Seattle after 3 years of living in Portland. I do love Everett, where I actually live, but I'm leaning towards "I can be happy anywhere if I'm happy with what I'm DOING, show me the goddamn money".

If I can make the housing costs out there manageable and make the moving costs and logistics something less than a total nightmare.

I'm really having a hard time coming up with a reasonable argument for not doing this. It's more money, no more late nights, cook the food I wanna cook, and be able to hopefully save some money for the inevitable move to STT when the folks get too old to take care of the house and property anymore.

ECHGF is not that stoked on it, which is understandable, but seems willing to indulge me. Though, as with anything, there's probably going to be a catch.

A catch called "marriage," perhaps?

Take the job! Live like a poor college kid to save money. Aquire profit, and move somewhere else when the job tanks. Burn Maine down as you leave.

If your current place won't make it worth your while to stay, I can't imagine why you would.
