Sometimes I wonder what would have happened had I not accepted the job offer that resulted in our moving from SoCal to NoCal. The odds are that I'd still be working for
Davidson/CendantSoft/Havas Interactive/Vivendi Universal Games or whatever they're called today; would still be making an even more ridiculously low wage (unless the new, new, new owners forced a layoff or a wage review); and would still be living in an apartment. We'd still be going to Disneyland every Sunday and I expect I'd be much more involved with
MousePlanet content-wise. Jennifer would be closer to her family. We would not have adopted Linus, but might have found another kitten.
We would not be scalp-deep in debt.
On the other hand, we would not be homeowners, and I really do like it here in the Bay Area.
Do I regret it? If I had to answer yes or no, I'd say no. If I could give a percentage, I'd say I'm about 65% satisfied. This would be improved with a
change in employment, I think.
