I got invited to an interview with my old job this week. But the best position they're offering wouldn't pay much more than what I used to make there - not on par with my current job. Plus there's the issue of me being out of town for several days three weeks from now. New jobs frown on that.
What I didn't tell you? We're flying down to Mobile to visit Mel's parents. With her mom undergoing chemo we think it would really be a good time to be together as a family. I can only stay for a few days but Mel will stay a while longer.
Anyway, all this plus Mel's surgery this coming Monday leads me to think maybe it's not the best time to switch back to a lower paying job right now, regardless of how much fun I would have there.
I politely let them know that I wouldn't be able to attend but to keep my ap on file.
It's hard and frustrating, wanting out of my job so bad but not being able to take offers that come my way. My mom is rehearsing a play right now (the reverend who married Mel and I gets to murder her,) and hearing her talk about it makes me envy my inability to do theatre with my current job even more.
Ah well, sometimes you've got to pick your battles. As much as I want to go, my gut tells me I need to stay if just for a little while longer. I desperately need new glasses too and those don't come cheap. Hell, no reason why I can't get some work done while I'm doing work, right? Time to check out the company vision plan.
