Another picturesque barn door

Somehow this somewhat gloomy picture illustrates my mood today: I am at the crossroads both professionally and as to my private life at the moment.

There is a very interesting and challenging position that I could apply for at our university, but I do not know whether I want all the hassle that comes with it. As to my private life, we got a bid for our house, but it was way too low. Our real estate agent is now urging me to start haggling the price upwards in order to keep these clients. I do not know if I want to do so at this short notice...and the deadline for applying is also in a week...
