Do you remember a time when you hoped that someone would break up with you first, so you didn't have to expend the energy to do it yourself? Yeah, that just happened to me. With a job. Immense relief to hear that I'm not what they were looking for, because they sure as hell weren't what I was looking for. I am gainfully employed, they asked ME to this interview (same company, so nothing lost), but it felt wrong from the beginning. Trust your instincts. Go with your gut. Whatever eloquent quote you need, do it. Being honest about my talents, my abilities, and my passions was the way to go. I'm staying in Wyoming for now. And I'm happy and relieved for that decision. I felt light-hearted, for the first time in a month, since this opportunity was presented in a most sloppy fashion. I belong here, for now. And I can work on things I know how to do while working on my PhD. It is the perfect answer for me, and I can't be more excited at how things feel into place for us, oddly enough, to make us stay in a place I thought I wanted desperately to leave.
I'm not afraid to admit I'm wrong. I'm not afraid to realize that I have it truly great now and to embrace the emotion. All things happen for a reason. I think this job interview was the answer to making me appreciate where I am now.
