I Decided to Take a Job

When I first heard that the Division of Wildlife job would be available around the time that I finish grad school, I thought I would save it as a last resort. I decided to go for it, but not even as a last resort. I think it's going to be a much better option than anything else.

1. I already know the job.
2. They've increased the pay.
3. They're transitioning to a new CMS, so I won't get bored because there's an extra challenge.
4. The natural gas industry in the area has shut down, so rent is affordable.
5. Barring workshopping for classes, I haven't spent as much time on my novel as when I worked there before.
6. It's far enough from home.
7. It will give me time to look for more long-term jobs without worrying about a writing project.

The 6 month thing is a bit of a nuisance for signing leases and whatnot, but I'm ready to indulge in all the things I like. Grad school has been very limiting.
