On Monday, I'm expecting a "phone screening" from Wizards of the Coast, ostensibly regarding the editor position for which I applied last month. I believe this is the stage wherein they decide if it's worth paying for plane fare to fly me out to Renton for an actual interview. I am torn between being utterly nonplussed, madly researching schools and apartments, and just ignoring it entirely.
Y'know, if I thought I'd actually get the position, I'm not sure I would have applied for it. I like what I do. I like staying home and freelancing. But... such a thing, with benefits and in a place I've wanted to live for years now, not reliant on the husband at all for regular income... Sigh. I am aimlessly adrift once more, with a shore in sight that is filled with possibility, and yet leaves me utterly fearful and longing for the things I may be leaving behind. Oh, and just to top it all off, I don't even know yet if I'm still tied to the dock or not, or if I'm actually going anywhere at all, to continue the metaphor a bit.
Just once, I'd like these sorts of things to be a bit more clear cut, you know? I think I'll send that up in my next Departmental Reality Memo.
But in the meantime.... if there are any Seattle-area people who would care to comment on schools, neighborhoods, suburbs, etc., your input would be highly appreciated (if potentially moot). :)
