Our time is up...

[jsbowden]

So, four years ago this October, we were acquired. We've been mostly left alone, but as I suspected, that had a lot to do with some of the details of the acquisition. Those 'details' expire in October, and surprise, we're on track to become fully integrated.

Let's see, our health care is about to get more expensive, and be worse. I'm losing two weeks of leave per annum. Retirement benefits are a downgrade. Oh, and let's not forget, internal IT is outsourced to a fucking competitor, who I won't work for because they're even worse.

Why am I still here again?

Anyone need a Unix/Linux/Windows sysadmin in Reston, VA with a TS/SCI?

Canada really isn't an option. And, we'd really like to stay here. As Jamie said, we had the house on the market, and even dropped it a bit and it still wouldn't sell (and we just wanted to move into something smaller, not HAVING to sell).
And then there's the kiddo - he's doing better than I ever thought in the public school system - it's one of the tops, and he's in a self-contained GT program and thriving - private school isn't even an option in most places as it would have to be major excellerated, and then there'd be the tuition bill
And, I've got 3 more classes needed for my BCBA, and there are few programs in the country for it.
Then there's TKD.
Somehow in the past few years, we've actually gotten stuck here and it would take quite a bit to get us to relocate.
But, thanks anyways!!

I figured moving probably wasn't an option, given the way he worded that, but it was worth a mention.
