oh bother

just had a call from the new job possibility. they want to offer me a job, BUT... can't actually afford to start me fulltime until April. from their perspective it would be ideal if i could work halftime for them (which would be 2 days a week) starting ASAP and continuing until April.

which of course would not work for my current job at all.

::sigh::

on monday there will be a phone call where, finally, money is discussed. so we'll see. but i'm feeling a bit glum at the moment.
