Ack.

My old job is open ... the one 90 miles away... not my cushy research job.

This is the 3rd time since I've been laid off that this job has been posted. It would solve and create many a problem.

• Problems solved: 
• Money
• Great insurance
• feelings of doing something with myself again.
• Problems created
• 90 mile 1 way commute
• the fact that I would be
•  gone 14 hrs a day or have to "relocate" during the week 
• Relationship strain. when I was living there it came to a point I had to leap and move or we weren't going to be able to move forward. Going back would take me back to that place and some pretty negative things around that time.
• Having to give up the organizations I belong to
• Losing the time to stay focused on my health.
• OH YEAH, I'd have to commit to that for 2 years!

So I've pretty much convinced myself to just keep my head up and stay focused on my search here. SOMETHING has to come along. It's still really hard when I see the salary.... sigh....
