That is so tricky! Is the contract job potentially more stable? I don't know how much you actually care about that, but you and your husband have been through the wringer from my perspective! And start-ups sound risky to me.
I got stupid. The money was too good.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It sounds like a big change, but increased pay and benefits are pretty nice things.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Is the contract job potentially more stable?
Hard to say. It sounds like they have plenty of work, and I'd be the only person.
The person I spoke to with the full-time job yesterday did warn me that the culture is "debative", and it's hard to know if that means healthy debate or just people being assholes.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Oh no, that does sound like assholes. Or at least just really aggressive.

Called and left a message with the in-house recruiter for the full-time job. So I guess we'll see.

It is shocking how often that kind of question shows up in advice columns, but that is far above and beyond! (Except for the grandmother who kept giving the allergic kid peanut candy...)

"The cause of this rift is TRULY TERRIBLE HUMAN BEINGS." The answer was spot on. I am so grateful that my family on both my side and his are so supportive of my not deadly but annoying allergies. They are so careful. We all go out of our way for the vegetarian and vegan members too. Sheesh people! Why is it so hard to be considerate?
So I guess we'll see.
Debative can mean a lot of things. I hope it means more on the open to ideas end of the spectrum than like to argue side.

Good luck Dana, that is a lot to consider.
