Possible way out

The project group has openings. It would mean traveling something like twenty-five days out of thirty, but that doesn’t look so bad right now.

I’d hate being away from Ember and Critter, but Ember is going to move as soon as she graduates, so I’d see less of her anyway, and as much as I’ll miss Critter and the kids I have to do something to keep my sanity.

I really will miss them if I get the job, but I’ve always been told that absence makes the heart grow fonder. Maybe if I’m away all the time she’ll notice when I’m not there. Or we could just drift apart entirely, which would suck beyond the telling of it.

Of course I’d be back at my current store when there were no projects (such as during the holidays) and I don’t know what I’d be doing since I wouldn’t have an area to run. Of course running a register for $39,000/year doesn’t really seem that bad, even if it is during the holiday rush.
