Ellen's Arrival Part 2
Tuesday, January 1st 2008
The heart-wrenching part of Ellen's arrival has been watching and feeling Will's reaction. I never would have guessed in a million years that he would have reacted the way he has. Rather than catelogue his behaviors, I think its probably enough to say that based on them, it appears that his whole universe seems to have been upset by her arrival and that he feels incredibly betrayed.

So, career crisis of sorts. I've gotten a quasi-offer from the new company. I say quasi because although everything is telling me they want me, they a) have one more candidate to interview on 12/20, b) my salary IS going to be a bigger deal that I had thought.
