[QUOTE=growlycat;4894741]Work is giving me sleepless nights.
I had a phone interview with a company in san francisco and it went well. However housing costs there are almost the worst in the nation. I'd have to be sure to ask for enough to live ok on. Not sure if that is possible although it is a city I would love

Work is complicated---hating it really. One caveat--my boss gave me a project that has potential to lead to another project which could be career defining for me. But not a guarantee. Should I stay or should I go now as the song goes. If I stay there will be trouble if I go there will be double--or is it the other way around?

So sorry you are in pain!! Does anything work?[/QUOTE

Hoping these injections will work. But til then Valium will relax NY muscles enough to get me about 4 he's sleep but that's all. I'm an equine vet and work has shown no mercy either. 10 hours of horse emergencies after the injections yesterday so I didn't get a soeck of rest. Its been like that every day. This is our slow season in theory but I'm working 12+ hour days every day. Vacation camping on an island in Florida next week. Can't come soon enough though i m worried my shoulders will keep me from swimming or surf kayaking, my whole two reasons for going there. Too late to change plans now.

I tried to make a go of working in Boulder as a young vet ( similar housing cost issues tho not as bad as SF) and couldn't manage it but I have substantial student loans from veterinary school still. A few of my college friends work out there. Most do gave long commutes duevto the search for affordable housing.

Is your job miserable or just not getting you where you want to go??? If its miserable I'd take my chances on the living cost of SF. If its just not taking you where you want to go then I'd probably stay and see if the new project is a break through.

But I'm a bad advice giver. Being a vet isn't like a real job. Its long hours,hard work, no rest, constant stress of a small business owner but it's also my days are magically full of horses. So not a real job by any means..
