No Really I LIKE the job I have now

So it was a very weird day today. I was put on a project at work for a week, that turned out to be an 8 week project that required me to relocate to Maryland. Needless to say, I am not moving to Maryland. The weird part was that when I told them I couldn't relocate to Maryland for the next 8 weeks, they offered to hire me directly. Kinda took me by surprise. I don't know why everyone assumes you always want to change jobs. I should probably get used to it though, I think knowledgeable people may be in short supply right now. Maybe they shouldn't have laid off so many over the last few years......
