Job Details

Well, I went to the interview today.
And I still have very mixed feelings about this.

I wasn't offered the job yet (still more to interview), but know that I could do it with no problems.

My main concerns before the interview are still my main concerns. The hours will be challenging and the pay is not what I'd hoped for. But the title is good and there is potential for advancement with other companies just from the title alone. (Assistant Manager)

The hours:
It's a rotating shift. 4 months day shift, 4 months swing shift, 4 months graveyard. Days is 6am-2pm. Swing is 2pm-10pm. And Grave is 10pm-6am. And there would be 4 months of some weird split shift for covering days off.

It would mean hiring someone to come keep the kids in our house. (I wouldn't do a traditional day care for just 4 months and mess their routine up.) But for the months on day and grave shifts this cost would be minimum, which would be nice. (John works 4pm-Midnight-ish.) Also, it would be pretty set hours. Very rare to work over your shift.

The money:
Not gutter crap, but maybe sidewalk crap. I don't know. It would cover gas and child care and there would be a medium size bit leftover. (Depending I guess on the shift for that quarter.)


The pros:
Back in the hotel world, which I generally find fun. Also, while every system is property specific, they use LMS which I'm very familiar with. (Don't know if they are green screen or web-based though.)


I guess right now I'm leaning to NO. I'd like some time to see if something better comes along. But maybe if nothing does, we could make it work. What really gets me is the rotating shifts. I really hate that idea. Mostly because I hate the idea of overnight shifts.

I just don't know. I hate all this job crap. I wish it were more money. It might be a lot more worth it for more money.

In other news, I'm going out Friday night! wOOt!!

I'm going to see Sex and the City. One of my nurses is keeping the kids. I'm so excited! I'm not sure which show time we're going to yet. (I'll let Jayne- my nurse- tell me which would be best for her since she'll have the kids.) But if we go to the 8:30pm show then we may have a drink before the show.
(I've never had a martini. And I want one. Only I hate gin, so it'll be a vodka martini. With a twist.)

This will be the second time I've left the kids with someone. And it'll be the second time that they sounded truly excited about it.

And look at me! Asking for help twice in one month! Progress, baby, progress.

On that note, John just returned home with our Chunky Monkey.
