I never did hear back from the local company, but a drunken conversation with my sister-in-law on Saturday night brought in to focus that being in Europe for 10 or 12 weeks out of the year really isn't going to work for me, and will probably cause problems with the wife/kids that aren't really worth it. And, telecommuting full time is going to give me more time with the family, which is good, and also simplify our life in regards to daycare and kindergarten when Mia starts school next year.

omg wow

You will be so much happier not having to deal with a crazy overdemanding boss!

I am feeling uninspired this week. I hope the menus don't irritate you guys, because posting them helps me think about how best to use my groceries and also how to keep the meals at least somewhat interesting.

Sunday: whole wheat spaghetti bolognese, romaine and grape tomato salad with balsamic vinegar and evoo

Monday: roast chicken stuffed with lemons and garlic, french bread, roasted broccoli with pine nuts and lemon garlic butter, roasted grape tomatoes

Tuesday: Aixois

Wednesday: broccoli cheddar soup, apple salad with toasted pecans

Thursday: spicy chicken breasts with mango salsa over quinoa with black beans, gewurtztraminer, champagne

Friday/Saturday (whichever one we don't go out): braised pork shoulder, roasted potatoes, cole slaw

Hey Z that's great. That old situation just sounded intolerable and unstable.

vr, a) your menus often give me new ideas for things to try making and b) who cares if people are irritated. i'm sure everyone got sick of my lifting logs weeks ago

Zurv, congrats on the new gig, come do a toast in the Pub to celebrate

How much notice does the old boss get? I would tread lightly if there is ever a chance you need a reference from there.

VR-Be by on Thursday. Make extra!

I'm starting Jan 18, so she gets 2+ weeks notice. I may not like her, but I'm gonna be fair.

tell her you're joining a competitor, you might get told to pack your bags and get out, and get the next two weeks as paid leave.
