So... umm. yeah.
OK so once more I reach a quandary in my life. Of course given its nature it's probably a very moot point given my past history with such things. Chances are if I take it all seriously it's just going to be a case of getting my hopes up for nothing.
The thing of it is - I have recently been contacted more or less out of the blue by a recruiter in my previous field of employment (video games). Now this has happened before albeit in the past and has led to less than nothing happening. This is pretty much what I expect. BUT. There is the 'problem' if I do pursue this and it does pan out.. It will mean leaving my current job. Now those of you that know me will think this is less of a problem than I make it sound as I kind of dislike my current job. On the other hand it is very stable and has great benefits. Including accommodation of a minor medical problem that is likely intimately tied to it. Oh the other hand I am also pursuing a career line in the current field which would likely be worlds better but could be up to a year off if it happens at all. I've also worked in the game industry before and was bitten on the ass by it so to speak. And there is the strong chance of having to move. Possibly to the middle of nowhere. Maybe. Another factor is that now I also have car payments so job hopping is not a good idea either. And yet, I will likely be much happier if something does happen. So security vs. happiness... decisions, decisions.
Well I guess I'll go forward and see what if anything happens... and if it does then I'll decide which way to jump. Until then I'll likely fret.
