yeah, things are fine. i've been mostly kind of avoiding posting about this.....

Posted by x (aka dmuck) Sep 6 '13, 11:21

but after five months of unemployment, i got two job offers yesterday. that's the good news!

the bad news is they both basically mean uprooting myself and moving away from everything in my life at present. that's the bad news...

one job is really good, though, and i may just have to take it regardless. but it means big big big change, so it's a little scary.
