So I had the big interview in Madison this weekend. Well, on Friday, anyway--this weekend was pretty much a bonus, getting to hang out with my friend who lives there and works for the company I interviewed with. I'm probably not going to end up taking the job, which is kind of sad in a way because I think the company is probably great to work for, and I'd love to be working with my friend again, but I just don't think its the right direction for me right now. I don't think I'd really enjoy living in Madison all that much, and once winter hits I'd probably slip back into a major depression thanks to seasonal affective disorder. Coupled with this strong desire I have now to go into healthcare and ultimately into politics (years on down the road, and behind the scenes, not as a candidate) I think Austin is the best place for me right now. Ok, it doesn't hurt that I love living here; I've worked hard to build a life here over the last year since the Ex left, with more than a modicum of success, and I don't feel like resetting that effort.

Thought for myself if and when I start sliding again: there's a lot of sunshine left in the world. Take off the Life-tinted sunglasses and take a look sometime.
