Birthday
I had a great shindig last night for my birthday. Thanks again to everyone who made it out. :) There were all sorts of folks who showed up, including many from my college days. It was great to see them. I have one quibble with the day, but it's minor and for the best.
This week is going to be interesting. The cat was let out of the bag last night when a well meaning friend asked me about what jobs I was looking at in front of a colleague. For the record, I am hoping things work out with my current position, but some issues need to be addressed in order to make things tenable.
With a surprise offer already on the table, it's going to boil down to quality of life versus cash and career development. I'm more flexible on the middle one than on the others, so I'm off to brew coffee and figure out how to word an email to my boss outlining my concerns. Having two very bright people* with strong wills butting heads isn't pleasant; I hope we can come to a compromise. I'm tempted to call it the "95 Theses", but that's probably a bad idea. :)
* yeah, I said it. Deal with it; it's true. :)
