There's good news and then there's bad news. Since I was recently offered a new job that I couldn't really refuse accepting as the pay is good and the opportunity is more in line with my skillset and career goals. The bad news is that I won't be able to take any time off until March at the earliest as there's the whole 90 day waiting period.

Now I must let the family know that it's not a possibility. Fortunately phone calls are fairly inexpensive.
