First, my condolences go out to the Potter family... although I have only met Grandpa Potter on a few occasions, I know in those times he has inspired and motivated me through his wisdom, energy and enthusiasm. My thoughts will be with you all.
Yesterday I turned down an interview for a Senior Project Manager, which was very disappointing to say the least. I was notified of the interview late last Friday, and had to respond yesterday before the writing exam. I spent most of Monday talking to bosses and colleagues on whether to accept.
It turns out this is a high-profile job for a 2 year project that would report directly to the Assistant Deputy Minister. Once I heard of this I came close to saying yes... it was the challenge and high level project that most intrigued me.
Anyways, I turned it down because I couldn't negotiate with them to allow me to work in Vancouver. Second, my heart is set on going to Carleton University and I already submitted my applications. Had they allowed me to work in Vancouver, I would gladly postponed grad school for a year.
I must say I am very disappointed... I've just given up a great opportunity and all I know Carleton will reject my application.
