Aside from the snow (and the accompanying dark and cold), Bangor was also pretty damned far from a lot of stuff. (You know, you made the drive.)
Although it's tempting to think of a good academic job that would give me cheap tuition, and give Jen cheap tuition, in a pretty stress-free work environment. It almost makes me forget the weather.
Then again, I look out my window and see the huge snowpiles and I hate that, too - so what's the difference, right? :)
And I agree, a lot of the unhappiness was the poor fit... and some of the unhappiness was just settling in and me not really making a lot of headway in the 'community building' department. (Which was certainly hindered by a certain anti-social spouse!)
So yeah... it's an interesting pondering. If he happened to write back and offer me something substantial, it'd be pretty tough to say no right now. Getting paid to research queer youth is almost as fun as a Big Gay Job.
