This one or that one?

The Hubs is in the running for TWO jobs.

The first job is local. It's with a large company that's been around for at least 40 years. Stable place. He'd be in charge of people and interfacing with a bunch of different groups. His 2nd interview for this one is on Monday.

The second job is an hour and a half away. It's with a small boutique firm who fill a small niche. The company will make it's final decision on Tuesday.

And the job that the Hubs is really hoping to get? The second job, which he feels is more prestigious. One that'll help him grow in another direction. One that he feels he can STAY with for a long time. Due to the industry. Due to the group of professionals who are currently working. And for the fact that he won't be in charge of anyone. Less drama, you know? Yes. That's the job he REALLY wants. Even though its an hour and a half away.

The Hubs and I have discussed what will happen if he gets this long distance job. The kids and I would stay put and the Hubs would rent a small apartment. Why? The Princess starts school in 3 1/2 weeks. The Bear's daycare is fabulous. The housing market is down the toilet. We've got houses in the neighborhood that have been sitting for almost a year! It's just bad timing. So we'd keep the house and the Hubs would be gone during the week. He'd drive up every Monday morning and drive home every Friday afternoon. We're hoping that the housing market will recover by next spring. We'd put our home on the market in April or May. And we'll hopefully be able to move during the summer. Just in time for the Bear to start kindergarten.

So until we get official offers from either place, I don't know what will actually happen.
