Job Change Means Hurry Up!

I had been worrying about the job still being in the small town we lived in that was an hour from the new location, but since I work for the post office, transfers are possible but not always available.  The position that I worked in was actually considered a temporary position so I was considered "non-career" even though I ran the office and was as temporary as could be.  Just as things were gearing up at the new property this year, I got a call from a central hub office offering me a career position 12 minutes from our new property.  If I turned it down now, I may not get anything close for a long time or ever.  It would also be a pay raise and offer the benefits I haven't been able to get due to being non-career. What could I do but take it?  I would have to commute for a little while but soon it would be close by again. I told my husband I didn't want to wait for the metal building which is still in process at the plant and since it was spring, I don't think we would have to battle pipes freezing or any of his initial concerns so we agreed that once we get the camper in, we would go ahead and move in.  We are close to being ready and only waiting on electricity to go in but when I finally put the order in, the guy was on vacation for 10 days (yes the only guy they have).  My husband couldn't believe that once again I got a job so close by but for now I would have a nice long commute just like my husband.
