I had a good, albeit very brief, trip to Dublin this afternoon. I think the interview went well, though it's hard to say for sure. I guess I'll know more soon, and then, maybe, the tough decision time will come.
I really can say that I'm not sold on living in Dublin. Walking around for a few hours after the interview this afternoon confirmed that in my mind, it has more in common with Chicago or even New York than it does with Galway in terms of the crowds and the traffic and the noise, which collectively are kind of the abstract dull on the luster of big city life. However, from the street in front of the office, one can see the Wicklow Mountains towering in the distance. That would have an amazing mitigating effect, especially if I were fortunate enough to wind up at a desk along a wall facing that direction.
In related news, on my third time of being in the vicinity of it, I finally got to see the Book of Kells at Trinity College. Eight euro just to see four pages of some old coloring book?!? ;)
More detailed reports and pictures to follow at a later time. Probably.
