Much to consider.

If I didn't know you were very experienced in a pretty safe job field I might be a little more on the "pension" side but I'm on board with Team Gig. Let's be honest: we don't have too many more years of this even being possible.

Any way they’ll give you unpaid leave?

Oh man. I can see very valid arguments for each. I'm sure you'll be able to sort through it and make the choices that work best for you all.

Just learned about the crossfade feature on Spotify. Pretty cool, but now I'm thinking about beat-matching. Come on Spotify, let's put that "AI" to some good use.

I'm so sorry, Nick. Losing a grandparent is tough.

Very sorry about your nonna, Pasta.

On the other hand, because she is a super cool wife, she is likely to tell him to do it if it makes him feel good, even if it doesn’t make her feel good. And then he has to be comfortable doing something that doesn’t feel good to someone who’s been through a pretty frightening health situation, not to mention being away from that beloved person having probably more fun than she is on any given day.

I’m not trying to guilt Patrick here, because I know he’ll do the thing that is most true to his values and right for the situation, and I’m not even saying that I know what the right answer is. I’m just playing devil’s advocate regarding your comment, because she could be totally supportive and still be happier if he stayed home. I think it depends how much of a difference it is going to make for her, and weigh that against how awesome the gig is. if it’s a level of things that you’ve never got to do before, then it’s important to do it so you don’t resent her or yourself. But again, I’m not really talking to Patrick because I know whatever happens will be the most righteous thing because that’s how he rolls.
