Life is, you know, hilarious sometimes. Last entry, ie yesterday, I created an "i hate my job" tag.
Today I suddenly get a callback from a job I applied to back at the end of January?
It's not at a hospital, it's just manufacturing. And it's 12 hour shifts every other day. But the pay's good and it has benefits. And it's not the job I have now, which, I just. I cannot.
I was at work, of course, and I wasn't able to return the call before things closed up for the day, but. But holy crap. The thing about this job is, since they've called me, I'm ... pretty much guaranteed the position if I want it (unless they were calling to tell me to go die somewhere)? It's the same company my father works for, and which my brother has previously worked for (and was offered a full time position, though he declined it), and they really, really like to hire from families. That has an actual word, but I can't think of it right now on account of freak out.
But can I handle a 12 hour day? The schedule would be predictable, and I think I would be sitting down for a lot of it, but. But. I am afraid. I must call tomorrow, yes, I know, but. What the hell do I do?! I've been applying to places for over a year now and suddenly someone calls me and I am like. I don't know what to do. aaaaaa
FORTUNATELY I HAVE THERAPY FIRST THING TOMORROW MORNING. I can talk about PTSD and jobs! YAY.
edit: Anyway, you know that feeling where you have just finished an amazing book and all you want to do is READ MORE FOREVER except that book is done and the next book on the list is not that book and maybe it's a good book, too, but it's a different kind of good and DAMN IT I JUST WANT THIS AMAZING BOOK SOME MORE? Man, I hate that.
