Still thinking about the job thing. I keep going back and forth. Part of it is that I am stagnating in my current job to some extent and the nonsense around my job position description changing gives me no confidence in the system. But I do like my supervisor, she lets me do fun projects of my own and the other two folks I support are fine. The stress is relatively low for an agriculture job and I get a lot of freedom to do things
The commute for the new job though. The salary really is canceled out when I poke at the costs. Depending on where I go, some of the mileage will be reimbursed but from the job location. So it might be closer to me but based on the distance from campus, I'd be reimbursed on that.
arg. arg arg arg. I dunno. It's a great opportunity but the costs are high.
Anyway, last week was hecking busy and this week is also hecking busy. I spent three days at C's place taking care of her cat, chickens, greenhouse and high tunnels because her partner's adult kid was killed in an accident across the country last Sunday and they had to fly out. That was stressful because it was incredibly sunny and hot and then one night it was potential frost and everything needed to be opened/closed at the right times. I hosted the fiber gathering thursday night, which was not well attended but I don't actually care because we'll get some more people next time once the blurb goes in the newsletter. Friday I went to my parents'. Saturday was a memorial gathering for my uncle who passed back in October. It was good to catch up with all the people I hadn't seen in a while. Lots of food.
Sunday and monday was cultivating strawberries with my favorite tractor, the international 140 cultivating tractor and driving. the 140 is a gas powered tractor from the 50s, with an offset engine block and cultivating spades under the tractor so you can see the rows as you cultivate them. it's delightful even if it is a little cranky. no power steering and it's funny about it's oil.
this week is full day of work tomorrow, shearing a sheep tomorrow night, at least a half day of work thursday, possibly shearing sheep thursday afternoon. full day of work friday probably.
I dunno!
