omnis, while I full well know money is an issue, I also know beyond a shadow of a doubt that being happy is worth money. Which job will make you happier? Even if the net result is a bit less money in CA, but you are happier at that job (and in that state), it's worth the money difference.
I took a pay cut when I left the corporate world to teach. And then had to take another one when I got RIF'd last year and took my current job. I got offered another job last year that would have meant no pay cut, but turned it down for this one. I am happy here (for the most part) and it's worth the money difference. And, it wasn't a small difference.
He did not go to the doctor, but he says he is feeling better and feels like it is clearing up on its own. Hopefully that is the case!
Good deal! Doctor or not, as long as he's feeling better, that's all that matters!
Shir, wise folk above explained it perfectly.
Happy? That's tough. Job wise, I think it's a wash. Outside of job, so cal. I think my fears of the unknown are my biggest obstacle. And the feeling of abandonment of current job.

With that, I can relate. Again, not very helpful, but I'd wait for a sign from above in this case.
I will say, that though we don't get to hang out much, we'd miss you.
I do want to stick up for Dallas though, because I don't think you have really had time to explore the city. It was many years before I learned about all the cool stuff here. I'm still learning more everyday. And I think we have a pretty strong arts community here.

Tough noogies for them. It's an admirable feeling, but you need to do what's best for you.
I had a very interesting dream guest starring an adorable buffista.
So... Pete?
Omnis, ping me and I'll email you a decision making strategy that has been helpful for me, if you are interested. Not job specific.
It almost makes me want to buy a Mac. MacBook Book Cover
BookBook is a one-of-a-kind, hardback leather case designed exclusively for MacBook and MacBook Pro. Available in Classic Black or Vibrant Red, BookBook brings three levels of security to your prized Mac. First, the hardback cover and spine provide solid protection from the rigors of the road. Second, the vintage book design disguises MacBook for superior security. And third, the stylish case protects you from being like everyone else because BookBook is totally original, just like you.
(except for everyone else who orders it, but whatever)
So... Pete?
Funny you should ask. It was YOU!
I just got an email that I got another phone interview. I'm going to look into this interview coach thing.
