Decisions

OK, I've turned down my first job offer. Still have mixed feelings about it, have been preoccupied stressing about it for the last week -- basically an okay job at a very convenient location, but a more interesting line of interviews opened up and I feel like I'm capable of more complex work and more responsibility now. Maybe making progress on some odd jobs around the house has made me more ambitious. Or maybe it's just the hubris that comes before the fall. We'll see.

This stuff is so much easier if you're not actually jobless at the moment. You don't have to go through that whole, "Should I just take this job to be safe" thing vs. "Can I find something better", etc. Risk-averse types like me have a tough time with those sorts of decisions.

Kris got us a free pass to the Science Museum through the library and so we went and we also saw the Pompeii exhibit -- where they have the plaster casts of the victims of the ancient eruption... it's really eerie. Very educational though. One of our last little family-fun outings before school starts.
