First thing's first. Weronika and I have some sort of truce and I truly believe that we figured out what's going on. Mainly it came down to both of us were/are stressed and just snapping at each other mainly as a way of attention. Unfortunately, instead of getting what we wanted, i.e. caring, tenderness and such, we just got pissed off at each other. Right now at least we think we have sort of figured things out. I don't want to leave her, and vice versa. When I think about it, in my heart of hearts, I truly believe and feel that she is the best thing that has happened to me, even with all the problems that we have and and are sure to have in the future. So now, it's just kind of down to damage control and try to fix each other, and repair feelings on both sides.
Secondly, I had my interview with Apple computers last night, and was officially offered this position in Cork. The start date will be Oct. 27. The only trouble in paradise is that it's only a temporary contract, ending around the first of the year. However there is a chance of extending the contract based on the amount of clients, etc. My dilemma is that I'm not sure I want to risk a decent job here for something that might not work out in the long-run somewhere else. I know that at least being there, I'll have more and easier access to search for something else more permanent, but still, it really feels like a gamble. I'm really excited to move there, the pictures look beautiful, and the people seem quite friendly, but I don't want to give up what we have either. I'm terrified that I gamble and lose. But thoughts of living in Cork, I keep thinking things like: used book stores, good pubs, access to fresh, fresh seafood, lamb, whiskey, whiskey, and whiskey. But the next few things I have to do is contact the Irish Embassy to figure out exactly what my rights are, as I'm married to an EU citizen, and then try to find a cheap, cheap bed-sit or something, and try to make arrangements as best I can via telephone. I'm not putting my hopes too high on that one. I'm sure it's virtually impossible to do this over the phone, at least if it's anything like the US.
But at least I'm hopeful with everything.
On a sad note, my Muppets Box set is on backorder. So I still have to wait.
