We Interrupt Your Regularly Scheduled "Cute" Program For this Announcement...

... I have a job interview on Monday at an assisted living home in Marathon. I'm still trying to decide if I'm sane or not.

Here's the thing, I love the residents at my current job. Make that I love the residents at my current job. (Seriously, the thought of leaving them causes nasty emotional things to happen, so I'm not going to go there right now... I hear keyboards stop working if they're immersed:-P) I also love a great percentage of the staff there (The girls I usually work with on PMs are downright awesome, everything runs smoothly and we get things done in record time... it's great!)However, it is half an hour away, meaning an hour I have to spend on the road every day I work (which I realize isn't bad for people who live further out in the boondocks)... and it honestly doesn't pay super well. Let me be the first to say I would totally volunteer for the rest of my life if it weren't for the fact that bills exist and people have this strange tendency to eat things.

Pros of (potential) new job:
- Closer = more time at home, less miles on the car, less gas, decreased chance of automobile "crash" (in theory anyway)...
- Potentially higher paying = maybe we can pay off our mortgage a little sooner?:-)

Cons of (potential) new job:
- New Staff
- New Residents
- New emotional things
- "Learning curve" brought on by new people, environment, etc.

Of course being devious I have thought that maybe I could play the "Hey, I have this way better job offer, you had better come up with something to keep me here" card at my current job and see how things work out.

I guess I would just really like prayer regarding this whole situation, that if God wants me to get the job He would open doors, and if not He would close doors, and that He would give me direction through the whole process when/if it comes down to leaving/majorly cutting back my hours at my current job. It's all just really confusing right now and every now and again I stop and want to scream "Why! Why did I ever fill out that application!?"
