Pumpkins scream in the dead of night

[cyrano]

The curry did not turn out as well as I'd hoped--I think the tinned pumpkin was a good addition, but perhaps the red curry was a mistake.

We got our quarterly bonus checks, which is good because I just paid all my bills online this morning and I was kind of depending on getting it today.

I got to spend time with Ebonlock last night, and Aelfsciene was thinking of me, so that went pretty well.

For those of you who had heard about the dispatch position in St. George, we got more information on the actual position. It would involve moving to Tucson, it looks like, rather than St. George. However, it would also tie me to SkyWest for another three years because they only pay my $5000 tuition if I stay in Flight Control that long. It looks like I would take a pay cut of about a dollar an hour. I'm suspicious that the change in cost of living would balance that out.
So the big obstacles to applying are (a) the fact that I'd have to move and (b) the fact that I'd have to stay in this position for three years.

The economics of the position appear to be awash. There is a big social disadvantage to moving. If you stayed in FC another three years, could it lead to a better, career-type circumstance?

I'm not sure. As far as different positions, there are probably management positions inside of FC as well as the usual bureaucratic/clerical/whatever positions that turn up occasionally around here. I'm not certain whether the pay scale of the FC position will hinge upon my current seniority, advance upon a similar seniority scale based on my time in FC, or a third completely unknown scale.
All in all, it sounds like a big financial tether for not a lot of change in my financial state. But I'm still working it over in my head.
