Up and up and up and down
Jan. 12th, 2006 10:26 pmIt was 61 degrees this afternoon, which was effing amazing.
So Jen called me this morning while I was in playgroup asking me to call her back, and I called immediately after playgroup and she told me that she was going to call and accept the job. Since I had some time for lunch (amazing also) I did what any self-respecting sad person would do - I pretty much told everyone I like at work. And they were sad, too.
Jen left me some garbled message later in the afternoon that I couldn't decipher (must have lost service), so I mentioned that to her when she got home and she told me part of the message. But it wasn't until I was on the phone with Former Coworker Sarah where I was telling her that Jen accepted the job that she told me that she didn't accept the job today, she asked for another day to think.
I can't handle this uncertainty. I really just need to know which way this is going so I can figure out how to deal with it. This back and forth is worse than anything else, because I have no way to cope because I don't know what I'm coping with. If she /does/ accept the job tomorrow, at least I have the support of my coworkers. If she doesn't, I have to go back and tell them all a different story. Ugh.
You know, I don't want to be a Florida-hater but aside from the deliciously warm weather, I can't find anything going for it. If it could give me just ONE thing: like allow us to adopt, or be one of the 13 states that mandates that insurance companies offer/provide infertility services, or have a commanding respect for social services, or /something/. But no.
How can a state filled with so many retired Northeasterners be so... blah?
