Ever since DH accepted his Academic Medicine position, I have been looking for a position as well. It is going on 6 months - 3 of which DH and I have been living apart. Having done the commuter thing for years, I will not do it again. However, my job is awesome. It feeds my nerd needs for research in academic medicine and it feeds my creative needs by designing educational modules. I have known that I am going to have to give it up if I want to live with my husband again.
Yesterday, I got a call from a department chair (at DH's HSC) needing someone with my experience for a position that also gives me a faculty appointment (right now I am only administrative). It is a position doing something I know how to do while providing some new challenges for me to grow professionally. I am so excited! I sent my CV last night. I have to admit that I am so afraid - afraid that I will not get it and I will be so disappointed. Disappointed because although the new job was a great career move for DH, it will basically stall MY career once I leave my current position. I am pretty proud of what I have accomplished because it has all been in spite of DH's training - the moving around has not helped much. Here, I was finally getting my groove again, have the faculty's trust AND then the hospital screwed over DH. I actually encouraged him to leave - to take the new position. Watching him before this change was heartbreaking.
All that to say how much I am wanting this position. Please send some mojo/prayers AND if you can spare both, I will need the get the job mojo and the do not be so crushed mojo if things do not work out.
TIA
