Blah
Well, if anything in my life is going to have problems right now, I think the job is the best one for that. So, I'm not going back to the courthouse job. None of the reassurances from my boss held much weight. She didn't know the right time the courthouse opened, she stated if I'm forced to sit there and not work for a time, then so be it, it happens. I asked about working in a different courthouse, but thats not possible right now. Eight computers is just not enough for the people that need them, and I'll never be comfortable with that. I feel like I'm failing right now.
I also interviewed for another job yesterday. This one is 30 minutes away just about, and is full-time, 9-5. I tried to see if I could get the hours moved up 8-4, but that is impossible. Honestly, this job will be very rigid and inflexible and I just don't think its the right time in my life for a job like that. The work itself should be alright, but the distance and the hours are more than I need or can handle.
So I'm going to decline it, and the one I already have. I hate it, I really do. I feel as if I'm being beyond picky, but honestly I have too. I have three children, a family, a new house (almost) and college going on in my life. Yes, we need me to have a job, but I can't handle outlandish stress and still have a bit of a life left over. I'm not ready to give up everything. We can manage a few more months without me working in order to find the right position. This first one would have been awesome except for the conditions around it. The second one, I know in my heart I'd be regretting it very quickly I think. If it was a bit closer, and the hours were a bit more flexible. But its not, and the first one is not perfect either.
I have about 6 more applications/resumes floating around out there, and I'm going to go back down to the courthouse today and ask about getting another application from the woman that gave me one last week. I sort of felt it was tacky to fill it out at the time, now I'm kicking myself. I can at least see about the jobs available.
On the good news front, we signed the paperwork for homeowner's insurance last night, so that process is all started. Everything is still going ahead just fine, and we are THREE weeks away from closing.
