Oct. 15th, 2011 05:50 pmSo I was offered the job I interviewed for. It is likely I will take it.
Pros:
+ I like being employed
+ Out of all the resumes and cover letters I've sent out, no one has bothered to call me back.
+ The company has a good reputation which will likely help me in the future
+ The position is a step up and pays more
Cons:
- The commute is just as bad as my old job
- I'm intimidated by the idea of working for competent people. (What if I don't measure up!?)
The commute issue may solve itself. They mentioned they are looking for a new location and that it will not be closer towards maryland. I hope they move to arlington. That would be closer.
I feel like I should be excited but I am insanely worried this isn't the right choice. What if I'm saying yes just because I don't want to feel like a reject anymore? I slept on it last night in hopes my subconscious could work it out.Instead I dreamed a billion different possible options. A lot of them were about the regret of NOT taking the job. *sigh* I hate when my future has too many open possibilities.
In other news, I am destroying the bushes in front of my house. I don't believe the previous homeowners have ever trimmed them. (Did they do ANY maintenance on this house while they lived here!?) The insides are a solid ball of dead branches. So I've started to trim them back a couple inches smaller than I want them to be next spring and then pulled out all the dead brittle stuff in the centers. I only managed to finish one bush so far. The other, I got the entire front trimmed back. Still need to do the sides, back, and top. This second one is in even worse condition than the first. I have four more after that on the front of the house and then two giant ones on the side that ben is going to have to help me with.
They look terrible now but I know they will look much healthier in the spring. And then a quick annual trim should be enough to keep them in line.
