I don't know how I am going to stand living in such a tiny town, a minimum of an hour and a half from a major metropolitan area .... but I took the job. I asked for a start date of Nov. 1 and am waiting to hear back. The money isn't appreciably better, but it's enough to start. And the cost of living there is just obscenely cheap. I can get at least a 2-bedroom apt. with all kinds of goodies included for what I paid in Milwaukee for a very basic place without utilities included.

Sigh. Why am I scared and sad instead of happy? Somebody tell me I did the right thing! It's the best thing for me professionally. I just keep telling myself that.
