So I am pretty fabulous right?
Ok so a long time ago (7-8 months ago) when I was medically released to go back to work I started to feverishly search all know means of finding a job. I went to the temp agency which was HELL
and I applied to just about anything that interested me.
Well on Tuesday I got a call from the City Office asking me to come in for an interview (I need to say how strange this is because its been 8 months since my first interview but with the County and the City things take FOREVER)
They ask me to come in on Thursday..Which I must say was quite strange as I was already leaving work early to go to a doctors appointment (I'll blog that later I can't make this shit up)
When they were trying to schedule a time with me I was trying to get them to do it after my Dr. appointment so work would not be any wiser.
I called 8 times (she asked me to keep calling back to see if they were at the 3pm interviews)
I called 5 more times and nothing, so she tells me to call at 3pm and she will see what she can do at this same time I told her "But I am FABULOUS you have to interview me!" half joking and making fun of myself. I am not even kidding I said this
So I call and she says Ok 2:30 it is.
So I leave work @ 12:30 for my 1:45 Dr appointment worried because the interview is across town.
I get to the office @ 1:08 (it always takes FOREVER at this Dr) my ass barely hits the chair and I am being called in. I was in and out WITH INJECTIONS TO MY SPINE in 25 minutes.
Shocked, I scoot across town to the City Hall building for my interview through tears because lets face it I just had 4 injections to my spine and its no picnic.
I cry in the car before I go in (the pain) I fix my makeup put on my favorite lipgloss and off I go.
I must say THEY LOVED ME. I got the job. Well not officially but pretty damn sure about it, she said she was SO happy she waited to interview me and she was SO glad I had gone last, I had all 4 of them laughing in the interview and they introduced me to people in the office.
Yeah pretty sure (that or I am just cocky)
So my dilemma is. Do I take it? See thing is its less money (not by much) and its closer to home (by 1/2 hour) and its with the City (once your in, you have to kill someone to get out)
See where I am, in the short 6 months I have been with them I like to think they like me, I mean I know they do, and I love what I do (not so much some of the people I work with but you get that anywhere) and I love the company. I am loyal to them.
I think I will wait till I get the "official" offer, then I will go to my company now and ask for more money and tell them why I want more money. If they fight for me (I hope they will, but who knows they just gave me a raise Sept 1)
I think I will stay (even though it means driving 1 hour to work and 1 hour home) if not City Office here I come
What would you do? (if anyone reads this shit)

You see pretty excited about the new job especially the interview part which is a good thing. I think it is wise to hear what your current job says and go from there, maybe think on it over the weekend.
well WHY NOT?!?! i mean, what are your reasons to NOT take it? if you have none, go for it!
I think you have a good plan lady, it sounds like you have already found your answer.
The job you have seems to give you shit though...but you have had a blast outsmarting those old heifers. I think its hard to take a job for less money..only do it if you really think that you would like it...
(yeah..Im not much help!)
Public sector jobs tend to have more growth potential. Take the city job.
LOL, for me it would be hard to say no to a job with the City. But I think you have a good plan in waiting, then going to your current job and seeing what they say or do for you. Good luck girl!
I would take the new job. Being closer to work is a HUGE plus. Think about the gas you'd save and time you could be spending do other stuff. You'll be home sooner at night so there's less stress and more time with the hubby.
But, if you've got the "balls" to do it, Id def go talk to your current boss about a raise, then they wont be suprised if you take the job.
I would weigh the extra drive time and aggravation against the moeny, and also the atmospheres of both places. I would then ask the giant monkey that only I see. He's the one who said it was a good idea to stash the bodies in different states.
