Of Life & Bungee Jumping.

Nice to have tall friends huh?

The offer came in today, after long last.

I know I want it, but there is still a hint of hesitation in me. Fear of the unknown and the forthcoming possibilities. Changing jobs after being with one establishment for most of my professional career has its own set of probabilities (and worries).

Hard to reconcile that I was loyal, if loyal is indeed the right description here, for more than 10 years. I had the best of times, and the worst, all things considered.

Mum found out and she wasn't exactly ecstatic about the possible change. But I think I got through to her the fact that I needed to try something else. And that it isn't only about financial gains, but of broadening my experience and talent.

GF also in my mind at least, seemed a little sad. She is definitely happy for me, knowing the full extent of situation resultant from my departmental transfer, but I also risk our relationship. The distance could be a serious impediment to our being together.

Siblings both gave their views after I asked. And they both offered insights like no other.

My best friend gave me solid advice - "We won't know whether Bungee-ing is fun until after the jump".

Time to step off the ledge then.
