But your comment does scare me a bit. I can't imagine being here for another 5 years. I really can't. <BR/><BR/>I'm not going to do anything stupid. It would take a natural disaster for me to leave here without anything on the other end. But at the same time I know myself and know it wouldn't be wise for me to stay here that long. <BR/><BR/>So it is a hard balance. And I guess only time will tell. But like you said, summer is on its way, and I can't wait. If there's anything I've always said its that I want to stay for the summer. <BR/><BR/>Because as you and I both know, it's what makes the year. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by :)Jackie S.

[For me Rankin is OK... just OK, working in Rankin is not what I want]<BR/><BR/>As far as leaving for other opportunities... Risk / Reward is a challenge right now. You should look at 5 years before the job market is good again. One thing about being up here that really distorts your decision-making is our iolation from the realities down south.<BR/><BR/>Times are very tough down south, but we do not see it that much. A visit down into Ontarion right now would probably allow you to get the visceral fear of job-loss with not prospects that is happening down there better than any new show can.<BR/><BR/>Expect at least 3 years of tough times. What would 3 years without a job do for you? (I have been there for 2 years, ended up on welfare in BC - it can be soul-destroying). I have to recommend looking at your situation and sticking with security, if you can.<BR/><BR/>Besides, summer is coming!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8316278384361358801.post-62318866197286502932009-03-26T16:56:00.001-05:002009-03-26T16:56:00.001-05:00The TV post will be back tomorrow!

And I had no idea how to respond. And I really just felt so ashamed for being ignorant that I took it personally. <BR/><BR/>So while I understand now that's not the case, I did kind of take it that way. But no worries. All is blown over now!<BR/><BR/>And thanks for your kind words :)Jackie S.

Now I'm gonna have dreams of ANTM and Iron Chef America! Aaaaaaugh! And I was doing so well! Hardly thinking about them at all! Boohoohoo... It's all your fault. I better call my sponsor.<BR/><BR/>So anyway...

There are very few things more stressful in life than things than not being in control of our situation. <BR/><BR/>And just to clarify, I hope it didn't sound like I was jumping on you.
