The Counteroffer

On Friday my manager walked into my office and blew my mind with a proposal that was basically most of my dreams wrapped up in a nice neat package:  I could work on the Android project full time, we would release it publicly (and therefore no longer be a punching bag for dumbass "partners"), and I could work remotely from the New York office.

I was not expecting that.  I had been assuming that quitting my job was an obvious prerequisite for moving home, so much so that it made sense to do one before having a plan for the other.  Now, though, everything just got super complicated.
