Interview

I had a very brief interview at the local Ground Round today. He offered me the job almost immediately, but I was very upfront and honest, told him I wanted only a Friday night and a Saturday night shift. He said he needed three shifts.

Now, if I wasn't teaching, it wouldn't be a big deal. But I know myself. If I don't have at least one day off, I'll start going nuts, really resenting what I'm doing. And there's no way I'll work a shift during the week. So I refused.

It's actually a nice sign of strength - I didn't have to take the job, so I knew I could walk out. We can make it on the money we make, but it sure would be easier to pay the bills down if we had a little extra coming in.

But I need to stay sane at the same time. So no. Not now.

He did tell me to give him a call if I change my mind, which is nice. Now, if I could only find a serving job that will allow me only Fri & Sat nights. Most want a 3 or 4 shift/week commitment. That's what's screwing me here. ;)
