Opportunity

It's great to know that you are good enough to be given a nice opportunity. Ok, maybe I am not good enough, but that is how I feel, so there. I am leaving my company in just 2 days, and my boss was a bit sad to see me go, but told me a bunch of very nice things when I quit my job.

So, today she called me into her office and told me that there is an opening in Germany working for the same company I have worked in Russia for, and that she would like to recommend me for that openning if I wanted to move to Dusseldorf and work there. The job would be a bit of a promotion for me, it would be a great opportunity.

Even though I am going to pass up on the offer, because I would have to commit to at least a year of work in Germany, and my husband is just not going to put up with long distance relationships any more. And Matt is the bread winner in the family, so I would not want to risk his career in order for me to get a better job for the time being, and I am certainly not very happy about the fact that if we were to move to Germany we would have to sell our house in Minneapolis. So, weighing all pros and cons, we came up to the conclusion that it's better for me to pass up the Germany opportunity and go to UK and stay with my hubby (without a job) and take care of him for awhile until I get my green card. I just hope that I will be able to get my green card before the end of the year, so I can leave UK with my hubby to go to US.

Anyway, I guess I am happy that I was appreciated at my last work and it gave a boost to my confidence to hear my boss offer me a transfer to Germany, although I won't be able to take her up on it. It was still a very pleasant surprise.
