Hmmmm... maybe we need to pray that that guy goes to grad school! And we know who we're praying for to take his job.
I am really not all that excited about moving "home." I don't want to live there now a terribly lot either. But, the house there is paid for. I would like to go to San Antonio or Tucson. Maybe Colorado Springs. I have friends or friendly family in those places. Of course, I only look in those places sporadically. And in each of those cities there are people I love who would let me stay there till I got on my feet. :-)
Heh...I'm half hoping he doesn't go, since we already lost one of the team already this year - the only other gal finished grad school (she was only working for us part time during the school year) and got a job. But...I sure could use some better pay.
The other thing is...if the union stuff ever gets straightened out, it's possible they'll pay us back pay...i.e. if the rules say we should get a 2 or 3 percent cost of living kinda raise...we may get it back to when it should have been effective. Which would be June or July, I think...but at least it would mean we WOULD get that. So...I'm praying for that, too!
