They would like to hire me.  Only problem is that they are offering a bit less than I wanted.  It is helped by the fact that I can continue to live here rent free (+12000$), but still I would like to be making more money.  Everything else about it is good.  The main head-quarters is in Bloomington Indiana, which means when they move me up to it I will be moving to a spot that is pretty much equidistant from both of the places I would like to spend my time.  I get to stay here.  I get to work on machines for people.  I get to work on some servers. I stay near my family and friends. I stay near WKU-Linux.  All great things, but there always must be a downside I guess and the one thing in this is the money they are offering.  Now here comes the life altering revelation for the day&#8230; wait for it&#8230; Money has never been that much of a thing for me.  Why is it now?  I guess I just thought that I went to college for something, and that something was to get a job I liked (which this is) making fat cash (which this isn&#8217;t).  I mean there is a job here at the <a href='http:\/\/cs.wku.edu'>CS department<\/a> as a Course Instructor that pays near 40K why not just take it?  I am sure that given the skill set of some of the other Course Instructors that they have hired I could get it, but would I then just be becoming like them?  I mean <a href='http:\/\/drspees.tripod.com'>Bill Spees<\/a>, while he would have been a good computer history teacher, was a lousy OS instructor, but they kept him on for another year.  What afni is offering me would be more money than I have made in my life, and probably more than a lot of other people making at the high point of their lives, but I guess I was just expecting more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well Afni called me today.
