Well, Marty's interview went off without a hitch. In fact, he is being recommended from whomever he spoke with for a second interview. However, I already know this one is a dead end.
The job is in a major metropolitan area, not a metro area of 200,000 like we originally thought. Not our fault. Their web site says they are in Nowhereville. However, the company recently had a wild hair to pull out of Nowhereville and move their corporate headquarter to Capital City. The other reason this is not going anywhere is, even though it is in a major metro area that has a higher cost of living than Phoenix, the pay is 75 percent less than what he currently makes now.
Marty was hedging when I spoke with him today. He isn't sure if he is interested or if he is not interested. After 21 years of marriage, I know he really isn't--even if he hasn't figured it out.
The rule in our marriage is that only one of us is allowed to have an identity crisis at a time. And to be fair, Marty has waited patiently for his turn. However, the other spouses's job when this occurs is to be the voice of reason. So, even if his mid-life crisis puts him over the brink and he wants to continue down this road with this particular company, he will have a hard time convincing me this is a good idea.
Plus, I hate the local-ish MLB baseball team. He will have to do better.
