Thanks for all the suggestions & thoughts but I just can ot afford to take the job at this time.
Joe is supportive of me & is willing to dish some extra cash out if need be until things get situated and the like but after a lot of thinking & speaking to the vet hospital I can't do it. Even with Joe willing to pay extra it'll be too hard. I have a TON of things to do & pay for the next 1-2 months, if I were to take this job hapf of them would have to be put on hold & that is not an option.

I was expecting a pay cut so that wasn't a big deal there, I just can't take that big of a pay cut.

I will continue to put out resumes & hopefully get a better offer not too far down the road.
