I have to say I love the juxtaposition of onesnowyowl and Maleficent's posts.
For me, I would call it the <b>High/Low Rollover Year.</b>
From January-June, I was making great career strides and won bunches of awards, however, my wife became unemployed after getting her Master's degree.
From June-October, we were seperated as she took a job in DC while I made the decision to job hunt long distance.
Then came November. The weekend visits usually ended in fights. I was miserable back in NC. And I had no place to live. So I said, I'm quiting, and I'm moving up. My last day, I felt the lowest I've been since a family death.
After three weeks of pounding the streets, I have two jobs and interviews are still being offered.
I wish we had taken this gamble earlier, but you play the cards you're dealt in best order you can figure out.
