Update: I turned down the job for a lateral move within my company. I was not able to get a raise but will have more opportunity for a promotion. Also, I will get to travel once a month and work from home the rest of the time. It was a hard decision but came down to the fact I do not want to live in Delaware ever so why take a job there.

I totally agree.  You looked hard at it and then found an alternate route to a better work environment.  Well done!

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
