Coincidentally, I felt much sadness being in SF last week and it was definitely weather-related, even being used to Seattle gloom. Good luck...I don't want to insult you with platitudes about getting back out there and reentering a routine, so just take care of yourself.
I find that being away from one's base of operations, especially if it's in a healing place like I know Portland is to you and Jen, is almost supernaturally healing to the soul...but yes, it's that going back into your regular routine that's hard.
I have to go back to SF next week for another round of interviews, but it may be a quick an dirty trip (fly into SF in the morning, out in the evening). There's always the chance that I will be back permanently if they can meet my asking price.
Speaking of which, cost of living calculators are depressing. In averaging out the results from several, taking a job in SF will net me an average 6% increase in salary from Seattle, but I'll take a 43% cost of living increase in the wallet. Bleh. Good thing my current job pays way under my skillset's value, so I can ask for a 5 figure raise without feeling like a greedy bastard. Anything less and it'll be a great job that eventually bankrupts me.
