Should I stay? Or should I go?




So I've just applied on some exciting jobs that are in my field! Yay! Unfortunately they are not in the same province, and are short term deals...




So here is what I am trying to figure out, at what point is it unreasonable to relocate for work? Where do I draw a line in the sand between cost/inconvieniance/stress/moving and opportunity/excitement/ new horizons ?




There is a part of me that would beg her way around the world for a light at the end of the unemployment tunnel right now, but seeing as how emotionally shattered I've been lately I have to ask myself "Is it worth it?" I really don't know, and really I am getting ahead of myself, but is moving 1400 Km for 6 months of part-time work a viable option?

Biting off more than I can chew.

Well now, being the dreamer and the optimist that I am given to being... I have gone and proposed a hugely ambitious project to a reputable art event that I am not entirely certain that I can pull off.

I mean, it is reasonably possible, but that is theoretical at best.
How will I make 12 foot tall ceramic sculptures?
How will I fire them?
How will I set them up to be sturdy yet easy to take down (only 6 hrs of exhibition time)?
What will I do if it happens to rain that night?
Where on earth will I put these sculptures while waiting to be shown / after the show is done?

But I've got this picture in my mind that I would love to share with the world, or at least the good people of Halifax.

So wish me luck, clear skies, and a bit of wind for October 16th 2010.
