I'm exhausted, physically and emotionally. I got the job in WV too. Now comes the decision. Which one do I want? The more challenging one in WV. THe less challenging one that leaves me time to write in OH. I'll be putting up the pros and cons and the whole trip iternary tomorrow. Do I stick it in the face of a school that's already put my name on the door or do I tell the johnny come lately's no. Oh, this is so much harder than I ever expected.

And thanks to President Bush for the air sickness. You didn't have to get me a birthday present but hey thank you (I was in a holding pattern over Minneapolis for over an hour so Bush could take off in Air Force one) I appreciate you making my day extra special and it summed up how I felt about turning this old. Blech.

Ummm....

Happy birthday?

I think go with Ohio, personally, if you want a poll.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks. I'm curious WHy?

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

A) They didn't wait til the last minute to interview/hire you.

B) The work won't be quite as draining, from what you've said so you'll

C) Supposedly have time to do other things than work.

all good points. Karl is very suspicious of WV. more in email to the cauldron

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Have you posted the email to the Cauldron? I'll check it out if you have.

Karl's instincts sound in line with mine.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

emailed it, and posted to LJ. In defense of WV they had no choice but to wait until the last minute since the other doc quit at the last minute.

apropos of nothing, i made some ETA's to that post

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Will review.

*whispers in your ear* WV sucks...

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

OH sucks worse. I've lived in both

[lynnluvsjamey.livejournal.com]

Well at least if you come to WV, you have me :)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

hee. I have friends and family there too

[dragonydreams.livejournal.com]

Sorry for the air sickness. But yay for having choices.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it really is a yay but...you know I had no idea how hard it would be to make a choice.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

tomorrow, i hope so at any rate

[dlgood.livejournal.com]

Better to have choices. As to the selection, that will depend on pros and cons. If West Virginia means Morgantown, that's not too bad. If it means Huntington or so, that's less appetizing.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

It means Bluefield/Princeton.

[dlgood.livejournal.com]

Ah - so that's down there by Blacksburg. I'm only vaguely familiar with the area. I don't know how it would compare to whichever part of Ohio you are talking about. It'll be instructive to see the comparison.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Yes, it's close to Blacksburg. The area of OH is the WV/KY/OH border area, quite economically depressed

[rivin142.livejournal.com]

Wasn't one of the plus sides of WV the location? That you didn't want to be stuck in such a rural place again like OH? I'd say that's a very good reson... And challenging is good, right?

Either way, congrats for being so desirable. :)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

WV is just as rural, well almost. There is a mall. And I wish I knew if challenging WAS good. I want time to write. Less challenging and more time to write might be better for me mentally.

[druinsanity.livejournal.com]

Two good jobs pinning for you! That's great!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

It is and it isn't. I'm apparently terrible at making choices

[mzzgoddessblue.livejournal.com]

Which one has the best money and the best living conditions?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

same on both accounts
