That sucks dear. It's a hard decision only you can make. I would almost say (depending on how much sleep deprivation you can handle) that you should take your longest break between shifts in a week and try to schedule it in that. Drive instead of taking the train (if you can) and just do it.
I now you want to be able to get a good reference from them in the future, but this opportunity is too good to pass up. You will be kicking yourself later if you miss it.
Life is treating me quite well at the moment. Good health, good job, good relationship, great friends. Chicago is the happiest place on earth. Okay I don't know it has been that good for everyone,m but I have been extremely fortunate since moving here.
yeah, i though of that, but i'm not sure that i can' take the sleep deprivation. i need to be fully awake for this interview and i'm working close to 55 hours a week. i just don't know that i could swing it and still make a good impression. thankfully, they apear to be willing to work with me and i kind of have an out for a little while since it's getting so close to colleen's wedding and i told them i didn't want to do anything to mess up being here for that. so, i have some room to play with and i can hope things calm down.
i'm so glad to hear that you love chicago. it's a great city and i can only hope to be a part of it someday.
Sorry your current job is turning out to be a bit of roadblock to your future. Hopefully something will change in order to allow you to take the time you need to figure things out. I've got my fingers crossed.
outside of work things are going well. i'm just trying to get everything settled enough that i can actually focus on something other then work. it's just a holding pattern and i do not want to wait.
glad to hear that nyc is treating you well. if you don't mind, i think i might try and take a trip out to see you this fall. i miss having you in michigan, i've never been to nyc, and my life should stable out by then.
You are more than welcome to visit, just make sure to give me notice...I will not be here a week/weekend in September. I think you'd like NYC! It's unlike any other place in the world.
The job is a job. I don't know. Sometimes I love it, other times I watch the clock waiting for the day to end. Working with the public is unpredictable and how they treat me makes for whether or not it's going to be a good/bad day. I just get really pissed when people minimize my importance. Some people are just rude and make comments like "you need a Masters to do that job?" It's irritating. But then there are the extremely grateful people. It's like 50/50. They either love me or hate me and therefore it's a crapshoot. I just know I won't be doing this forever. It's super draining
