Well I got an email today regarding a Business Manager position with Veteran's Affairs in Washington, DC. They actually contacted me late summer and asked if I would consider this position and presented a great initial offer should they move forward with the position. I thought the position fell through given it is now December, but like a lot of government agencies they are not always fast-moving in their decision process. So here it is December 6 and they want me to start January 2, 2010....again...once the position is finally approved.
I have mixed feelings about making this transition given I wanted to be away from city life and closer to my parents now they are getting up in years and two hours away is better than four. That said, it would be another great opportunity in my career, but it comes with a lot of tough choices and sacrifices as well as rewards and benefits to my family; especially, having left my previous position in late January 2009 and have been consulting since.
If this does happen, I will be bi-locational working during the week there and back to Harrisburg on the weekends, holidays etc. At least that's the plan for now.
Say a prayer, cross your fingers, toes, fins whatever you wish because it will probably be the last minute before I know, have to be ready to change gears, and be up and running in DC.
PS: Chad...I really feel for ya brother!
Regards,
