decide if I really want the seemingly fantastic job I have just been proposed

I’m not going to accept it. I don’t really know what the future holds for me, everything is very confused right now, and that’s why I’m not so active on 43T: I just can’t keep up with the core concept of this great community.
Everyone who shared with me their thoughts: consider yourself constantly cheered even if I will be inactive for awhile.
I’m going to peep in from time to time :)

... the editor-in-chief proposed me a job, and the publisher described a totally different position (of course the first proposal is interesting, the second one really sucks—and they are supposed to be the same job…)

Wow.

Working on that, anyway. In a few hours, I hope.

Yay for my gut feelings, that kept this goal open.
I said my tentative “yes”, but nobody’s willing to talk about a precise job description (go figure the vile money subject!)—everything’s very blurred, very “it’s a work in progress position”, and I’m under the impression that eventually their proposal will be pretty downsized.

So, since this job is basically a counterproposal to my decision to quit, and I took a month off to write my tesi, I will use these weeks before December to get a couple of friggin’ straight answers.

Ok, so I made up my mind. It would be criminal not to accept. Before the train passes by, let’s jump in and stay on it as long as I enjoy the trip. And while I’m at that, I wish this can teach me to jump from a speeding train to another. I keep the goal open, since it will take some weeks for the proposal to become official, and in the meanwhile you never know what can happen… (oh, wishful thinking!)

Let’s say that if Cinderella were looking for a job, instead of Prince Charming, she’d be totally envious right now.
And yes, this year has been pretty rough.
And yes, I’m overtly proud of myself.
Yet… there’s a dream in the closet, and I’m trying to understand if there’s a way to keep at least one option open, and take this great chance anyway.

(ok, I don’t have to decide tonight, so I can devote a couple of days to congratulate myself for the offer) :)
