News from Atlantic Coast

...so. Onto the reason why I now have some big thoughts and decisions to make.

I've been playing phone tag with the inflight recruitment folks at ACA for two days, and last night we finally reached each other. They told me the bad news: looks like Boston isn't going to need flight attendants, after all. I'm not fired and I'm not not hired - I'm free to continue on the path to being an FA with ACA.

If I move to DC or Cincinatti.

I can't yell at them. I was told this was a possibility. However, I didn't plan for it to happen.

So now, I must think and decide. I want this job. However - I also want londo, all my other Boston-area friends, all the Boston-area people I'm just starting to be friends with, the ease of not having to move again, the S*P gaming groups, other S*P-related stuff in the works, etc etc etc. I want the stuff I've started to build here.

Not that Cincinatti would be all that horrible. I'd be an hour or two away from two dear friends, the Cinci-Boston flight is only 2 hours long, everything would be cheaper, I'd be closer to Oklahoma and Michigan (family), and I'd be able to bid for reassignment after, erm, 9 months?

Points of difficulty:

I have stuff. Stuff that takes up a lot of space to move.

I have cats. I'd need a roommate who would take care of them while I was gone...

...and I'd want to be gone a lot, theoretically.

So. Plenty to think about, and I still have more questions for ACA.

I think I'm being pretty mature about this. It only broke me up for about an hour last night, and then I settled down to weigh options. If only I could always be this cool.

Write out the pros and cons of each decision. As far as I'm concerned a job is a job and they can come and go with the wind these days. The only advice I can give is go with what makes you happiest, because if you aren't happy then it isn't worth it.

I've always followed the "Do the job that you like to do and not the job for the money" line of thinking. I know myself that if I'm not happy where I am, I find a new place to be. I worked for the money once, I think I lasted a month.

The only person who can tell you what the right decision is, is you. "We" can only give you advice.

I appreciate the advice, but you told me things I already know. :) Hence why I kept saying, "I have a decision to make." :)
