So I needed to share my disappointment somewhere, due to lack of friends I can confide in regarding my issue. Just got word today from my boss that there is a 50/50 shot of getting a 3-4 month assignment in England this summer. Normally I would be stoked but I can't go so I will have to decline.
A couple things:
1. Lately I've been pretty stuck in a rut at work, very unsatisfying. Generally I don't get a feeling that I can get good at something, its all short random tasks. This would be a decent gig that would grow my network and pretty much get me out of my rut at work. Give me a different setting and some confidence in my job.
2. It would be very lucrative. Basically living for free, along with monthly "travel and cultural allowances". Free money telling you to enjoy yourself and travel Europe. How could you complain?
3. I've been side by side with my fiance for almost 5 years. He wouldn't be able to come because without a second job we couldn't pay the bills. It would be difficult to leave that long, but get paid 5 day weekend to go back to the states once a month.
But. I can't go because my fiance got a DUI last year and is on a restricted license through October. Please no yelling about how people should be punished for DUI's and all that ****. I know its serious and a mistake, but restricted license for a year is a bit harsh. So I can't leave because he would be here at home and can't go to the store, go to hang out with friends, anything. He would pretty much be completely isolated.
So I just needed to say whats going through my mind outloud. That's it.
