Just interviewed to work at a different park. Professionally, everything is there: Good working atmosphere, chance to learn the Boss' role to take that job in a few years, more relaxed pace, get along with the boss really well, all that stuff. But toured the Ranger residence and wow that house is SMALL. Not sure the square footage, but my current one is about three times as big. My last one-bedroom apartment was about the same size--it's basically a tiny dining area and a living room the size of a not-master bedroom, with three small bedrooms attached.

Initially I didn't have a single hesitation about taking the job. Suddenly the house is a big one, though probably I wouldn't be living in it much more than 2-4 years until a promotion (more $) at a different park or becoming the boss at that one (more $ plus I could swap houses) opens up.

Thanks. My big boss found out I interviewed today and apparently thought it would be a good move.

I suppose the only reason I'd hesitated is that I was hoping my next park could be something of a retirement park, where I could stay where I was should I decide not to become a Superintendent, and the size of the house isn't one I'd want to stay at another 15 years. But I suppose most likely is I'd get bored and want to move somewhere else in time, either way.

At this point I'll take the job if I'm offered it. I don't totally know if I want to be a Superintendent yet, but at the least I'd like to put myself in position to get that promotion should I eventually decide that's what I want to do. Tiny house, yeah, but it's looking like a 2-4 year stint there, which isn't any crazy amount of time. And yeah, no wife or kids, so I'm sure I can manage.
