One of the owners to my company was recently diagnosed with a terminal illness for which there is no cure. He has been accepted into a clinical study to hopefully stop the progression of the disease, and possibly reverse some of the effects. The study however has not started and there is still a possibility that a more qualified participant may be found which could kick him out of the study. In an email from him to my boss in which she had asked how he was doing his response was "It's painful waiting around for something that may or not happen." When I first read that it almost just rolled off my back with no real meaning to it. That changed a few days ago for me. I've recently come to the conclusion that my marriage is at it's end. I've also taken on a fancy to someone new. Trouble being she is also married, and while her marriage isn't perfect, she has talked about leaving him. One has to wonder however how long you are supposed to wait in a situation like this. I don't intend to wait around forever hoping that in the off chance she does actually decide to leave him, I would be able to fill the position.
