And.... my life is decided. I am waiting for Lucas to go down for his afternoon nap, then calling Mt St Mary's to turn them down- it is just not the right place for me. I just got off the phone with the Washington State guy. He said he cannot officially offer me the post doc because he does not officially have the grant money. But all in all it is a done deal. So I am on my way to Pullman, WA. Not sure how it is to live up there, but it sounds like an amazing opportunity for post doc work. I get to learn disease ecology and molecular techniques. So it will really make me a MUCH better candidate for jobs. So there you have it, the drama has ended... Well, hopefully!
