    Should I relocate for job?

    Yesterday I was going to accept it, but then I couldn't get ahold of anyone, so I waited. Then Last Night I talked myself out of it, and told myself I was going to call them today to decline it. Well they didn't answer this morning, so I left a voicemail. Now I came back here and was thinking...
