It's Official

Dear University of Toronto,

Thank-you for your offer. Despite your excellent qualifications as the leading research institute in Canada and the rather nice fruit basket you sent to my room, I regret to inform you that I will be unable to to take the position of assistant professor in Organic Chemistry.

I wish you every success in your future career.

With much love.

PFO

Mr Bob

Last night, Mr Bob came home with a dozen red roses and a bottle of French champagne. The negotiations are over and Mr Bob is officially starting at the smaller, West Coast school this summer. They came up with everything he asked for and then some extra bonuses (he is teaching his favorite course).

Now if only his slacker wife would get a job.

*gasp* How great he's following what his heart tells him. And how great that he's so happy you support him and are sharing this portion of his life.

Good luck on the job hunt, Bob!

I am pretty thrilled.

The other place is perfect, but I was always a little concerned the money and prestige at U of T might tug at his ambitious, competetive, guylike strings.

But we'll be happier at the smaller place and he can still do excellent work.

Yay! Congrats Mr. Bob!

Is there any champagne left? I want some.

I figured out what PFO stands for.

Congrats on the job and moving to the Left Coast.

I'll take any leftover American currency that you might have.

Yay! for Mr. Bob! I knew that was going to be the right place for him. Just.knew.it.

Now I know someone I can go to visit over there! I've always wanted to visit that place.

But, won't you need to make lots of money to pay for all those stupid ferry boat rides? (I don't like ferry boats.)

Are you coming to stay at my house? Would you like to buy my house? I bought another one and still need to sell my first one. Right on the bus route to the looniversity....

Wait, so are you moving to Vancouver?

Yay for Mr. Bob and yay for you too, Bob. I'm really happy for you both!

*smooches*

Bob! I thought about you last night as I was reading a book. They talked about Raman spectrography or something like that.

Congrats to Mr. Bob! And good luck to Bob...

I know how exhausting and frustrating this whole process can be. I am thankful that I do not have to worry about a spousal hire, at least. I will keep my fingers crossed for you.
