yeah, rat, that's where i'm leaning. its just a question of having the finances fall through in two weeks because someone tries to sneak a clause in or something. i can play the "i wish these people had their story straight 3 months ago," song, but its all timing. i think i can get some temporary quasi-stability deal worked out. ie., if shit completely falls apart, then get temporary funding lasting through a second job search...but making that phone call and knowing that i'm turning down a sure thing...scary. what's worse is the people at the institution were super nice during my interview / visit. i have a feeling that they didn't like a lot of the other candidates - but that's just because i have this little softy inside me that likes to make everyone happy if i can.
the area could potentially be huge. i don't think this is putting anything near confidentiality issues: start-up is alternative energy, institution is a secondary process for nuclear bombs. i lean to the hippy with a work ethic and hygiene angle....so - i can look at the nuclear bomb issue as waste disposal / treatment...and i know its vital to have this equipment and its vital not to release things into the environment. its just that in the world inside my head, i don't like the idea of assisting in the process which maintains nuclear weapons.
thanks for the reply. i'll post back when i make my final call.
