Just a quick little tidbit, because I have to say something to someone about this...
My husband got news from a recruiter last night. News that means that he should be interviewing, in person, in Texas, within a couple of weeks! I know this could be something real or nothing at all. Still, my mind can't help but wander through the possibilities. What this could mean...
There is one thing that this news definitely means. I told myself that as soon as it got to the point that we needed to go out for a real in person interview, then I would tell people in my work world that there is a possibility that I could be leaving. I would do this as a courtesy because in the work that I do, it would be nice to give them at least a month to start looking for other options. As soon as I get an actual date, I will go through with that. (We needed money to help fund this little endeavor of moving across the country, so it was imperative that I not say anything until we had a bit saved up for this.) My friends have known for about four months now and that has been interesting to see how that changes up the friendships, in ways good and bad. Putting work on early notice will be a brand new leap of faith for me.
Sometimes people who care the most handle it the worst. It can be hard for people who are closest to you to accept the changes this will bring to your relationship. Distance (aka geography) does change things and knowing that someone you love won't be around anymore hurts. It takes a while to accept that change. Hang in there and give your friends time.
