I needed to find out if a potential job offer in Sofia, Bulgaria was
going
to materialize, which would have (happily) precluded SWMBO and me having
to
go to Boston for the job fair. However, as is common in this profession,
negotiations seemed to come to an abrubt hiatus a fortnight ago, then we
got
a sudden and unexpected 'thanks, but no thanks' email. Rats. They
probably
has us lined up on deck, and didn't need us in the end.

Shame. I had a lot of good times in Bulgaria when I was young. And I'm
damn sure there are still trout in those Rhodope mountains.


Yeah, I was saving the announcement until it was finalized. Like all fish
that get away, this one has gotten sweeter with time. They contacted US,
which is rare and encouraging, they needed a couple to create their entire
HS curriculum (which is what we did here in Congo), the school is in a
beautiful part of Bulgaria, the rivers are full of trout, there are
mountains, rivers, ski slopes....I can fish, canoe, camp, buy myself a nice
4WD, there's no coup attempts weekly........damn, I gotta go cry now.
