They've offered me a job. The lesser paying of the two I applied for.
Now I have to figure out if I can afford to take it. Back when I applied for it, this was not an issue. One new-and-improved root canal/"bling" crown later, I'm feeling rather poor and stretched to my monetary limits.
But it's a real job. Bennies. It's been years since I had those! Though I will lose my doctor...I can't afford to do the PPO thing. I have to check on my dentist. Lord help me if he's not on the list, I will cry.
Vacation time! Though as I told my mom, great! I'll have time off, but not be able to afford to go anywhere! And my do I love my mom, she said something like, "So you stay home! You can sort though your junk and really clean up!" Ah mamacita, my "junk" lives in her storage room...she was channeling the pit that was my childhood bedroom I think. Messy I will always be, but not so much the pack rat I used to be.
I make more as a temp., technically. But as I never actually accepted the fact that I got a raise a little while ago (to help with the aforementioned bling/lessen the stretched out feeling), I really won't miss it, much. I really liked seeing the fatter checks I guess.
What is it that is keeping me waffling here...
The job is not as hard as what I've been up to these last few weeks. WAAAAY fewer responsibilities, more of a chance that I'll learn a new trade. I really should just go for it. The guilt is that I start on Monday. What about my huge to-do list?
I've been told I should just be selfish and damn them all. I need to sleep on it.
Ah, I think I know...it's that feeling of first tendrils of a root maybe? Yep, that may be it. I've been transitory for so long that this is kinda scary. Next thing you know I'll have lived in a place for 2 xmases in a row or something...
And how many times can I reknit the crown of a hat without going bonkers??? 3rd try is the charm, please?

Hee hee! I feel you!
That's a tough one. Probably time to write out the pros and cons on paper and see who wins.
Good luck in your decision. If you were asking my husband, he would say, "Just take it for now but keep your eyes open to better possibilities." He's very practical like that. I don't know if that helps you - but it helps me to know that just because I accept a job offer, it doesn't mean I'll be chained to it for forever. I have a job possibility in my future and I'm waffling too. I feel for you !
Congratulations on having options! Good luck making a decision - that's always tough for me!
