I had an interesting call yesterday from my old boss. Funny too how in the morning I was talking about my job and how I was a little meh on it. Turns out he wants me back pretty bad. Since I left they have had no one to fill any of the projects out of town. Seems nobody else in the company has any interest in traveling but me. I straight up told him he couldn't afford me any more. He asked me what I meant by that and I told him that there would be no way for me to come back for less than the salary I was getting at the new company. Period. No flexibility, no bonus programs, straight salary or nothing. BUT I wasn't against coming back, it just had to be on my terms. He said he would talk to his partner and see because they really need me back.

I know there are good and bad things about both companies. I am not being delusional. One of the biggest complaints I had with my old company though was financial. I wasn't able to live. Plain and simple. If they were able to give me my current salary and I could travel again? Plus it would be working with a product I knew and was comfortable with? Seems like a win for me. In some ways I had to leave to show them what they were losing and to give myself the negotiation room I needed. Let's see what he comes back with in the next day or two. I have a feeling I will head back from him this weekend.

Came home from work and the kid treated us to delivered indian food. We had a nice meal and then some friends came over to watch Runway and Futurama with us. A quiet evening at home. Was kind of nice.

Today I am working from home so I can clean the house and just have some time to myself before I have to deal with cast shit tomorrow. Plus TGF gets home tonight. I can't wait to see her...
