I'm too damned tired to think up an entertaining title. I've had very little sleep since last night, and thank god for ibuprofen. I am just anxiously awaiting bedtime... Kole has the day off from school tomorrow and we've got a free pass to go bowling. As well, we've got enough points to go see a movie for free. Now, what to see? She is dying to see Scooby-Doo: Back In Action. I would rather not, but sometimes you've got to endure plenty as a parent.
Oh, good news. I've got another interview with this company that I thought had passed on the idea of employing me. My actual job-related skills were lacking (specific computer programs, basically), but I think I impressed them enough to consider overlooking that unfortunate aspect.Even though I am untrained in their current system, I can learn quickly enough to handle it.
I'll find out more, I'm sure.
The pluses of getting hired far outweighs some of the problematic stuff. It means almost triple the amount of money we are currently existing on. TRIPLE!!! No more welfare for me, thank you. I'd have a chance to actually start saving money. We don't have any big budget items that we need. I'd like a newer car, and would love to own my own washer/dryer, but I am determined to be responsible with it. We are in a situation where I can change our financial situation greatly, by doing the right thing.
The amazing thing is the possible probable travel opportunities involved. Their benefits package is also very impressive. The good thing is that I am not going to have to move! I can still stay here in my hometown.
Downside? Hours are going to be long and varied. It'll be interesting work, and I'm sure I won't even have time to be bored, but I'm more thinking about Kole. Childcare. Not being able to spend the kind of time with her that I can now. Of course, I was prepared for some change in that area, this job may involve me being away from her for extended periods. My parents and close family will help take care of her, and I know she'll make the adjustment all right, but... I don't want to be apart from her!
Anyway, I don't want to say anything more for fear of jinxing my chances, but I am going to keep my fingers crossed.
