(((((PS)))))

I can't speak for Lake but from personal experience...I've interviewed for jobs and negotiated career changes without Mrs. WI's involvement. In my case, it was because I'd learned from the past. Getting her hopes up just to have them dashed (along with mine) was something I was trying to avoid. Mind you, the career change didn't involve different hours or moving our home elsewhere. It's easier to absorb being informed of a change when it doesn't affect your day to day life much.

I'm sorry that you're hurting.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
