December is Starting Off in Limbo

 I hung up this grapevine star that I wrapped fairy lights around last year. I feel better already just looking at it.

Tomorrow is an important day. The company in Jefferson called about a month ago and was happy with hubby's phone interview. He is scheduled for (three?) in person interviews tomorrow. The plant is expanding and the new part is set to begin operating January 20th. At this point we don't know if he will be hired on the spot or told to wait for an answer. He literally applied the end of October. The interview process with this company is rather long and involved. It's also union, which would be very different from what hubby is used to. The pay is very good. So we have to wait and see what happens.

If hubby gets the job in Jefferson he will need to drive about 40 miles each way until we can get moved. I have mixed feelings about moving, but no company in the area is paying as well as Helgesen did, except the company in Jefferson, which is paying more. Our lease isn't up until May 31st. We can pay to break it but we would be charged a full month's rent until someone accepts the sublet.

Moving is a big word. Our rent goes up every year but not as much as for people just moving in. We get a discount for being long-time residents who always pay on time. Once we leave this place (yes this place) I will never have this view again.

Maybe we will find another nice view, I don't know. I waited 40 years to have a beautiful view, but it doesn't matter when work sucks. I always imagined that if we moved it would be to the Driftless Area, like around Baraboo, or closer to Lake Michigan, like Sheboygan.

In any case, we like Jefferson.

I'll check in tomorrow with an update.
