turning of the tide

Wow. What a sudden and bizarre turn of events. We talked to a few other staff members yesterday and found out that the majority of people would really like us to stay. They think that this is the perfect place to have a baby and raise a child. Community members have done it before, but this would be a first for staff members. Still, the overall feeling is that it could work out. We aren’t corporate America. Having a baby in the office might be nice they say.

As I recall we were never definite on staying or leaving. We felt it might be easier for everyone if we left. We wanted to make it as easy as possible on Vajrapani so we decided, if we were going to leave, to do it in August. Once that was vocalized then the ball started rolling. It became set in stone because a couple of people, it would seem, don’t want to have a kid here. We will leave someday — it’s inevitable, but when is the question.

Christina has really been wanting to stay. And I completely understand. I wouldn’t want to look for a job when I’m six months pregnant either because who’s going to hire you? If we leave before the baby is born then it would be sooner than later.

Thank you all so much for putting up with my public ramblings on this. I have to be vague in my story because it’s just the nice thing to do. I have to write because it’s the sane thing to do. I have to share because... well, if you have a weblog you understand why. I do have some other stuff I’d rather be thinking and writing about, but this is all the comes out when I put hands to keyboard.
