Update:
I have accepted the position! Pretty good salary being offered, too.
And a really interesting thing happened this week. My old employer (where I worked before I got fed up and quit, in order to go back to school) had their Christmas party on Friday night. Last week, one of my former co-workers called out of the blue to invite me. I must say, it was nice seeing all the people I actully liked again. A lot of changes, too. For instance, my old department has basically disintegrated since my departure, mainly for the same reasons I left: monumental management incompetence and favoritism in promotions, to name only two factors.
Well, the best part of the evening came when I told my old boss about my new position (he's originally from NOLA, and got his B.S. at Tulane). Back in 2003, when I announced my plans, he had basically told me he expected me to fail going back to college (I actually got a 4.0 GPA), much less ever progress to management. The look on his face was priceless.
I guess it's true:
Revenge is a dish best served cold.
And living well is the best revenge.

Things are odd, frustrating, and wonderful in New Orleans, if you have a place to live and no insurance companies to worry about. Right now I don't think folks much care if you've moved in from Zimbabwe, as long as you want to live in the city and enjoy it.
