Sleepless in Walla Walla

Jul 24, 2007 01:35

I can't sleep.  I can't sleep about one night a week.  It's driving me nuts.

I got a raise at one job this week, and a raise at the other job last week, and both jobs are asking me to step up and come on full time at one or the other.  This is completely reasonable, but when I'd finally made my decision in favor of job A, the people at job A have been farting around and wasting time, and the people at job B have finally stepped up to the plate.  However, job B has a history of dissappointing me, while I believe that the problem with job A is red tape.

Do I go with gut instinct, or take certain changes as "signs" of future behavior?  Do I go with a corporate giant, or a budding and possibly immensely successful in the next five years start up company?  Does it even matter - what if I decide to go back to school?

How come people keep giving me raises right before I quit?  Todd did that to me at World Lux, right before I left, he gave me a beautiful hike in pay.  Why can't one job just utterly dissappoint me, so that this decision could be EASY?

I will say this - my boss told me today that I should look at having these two opportunities as a blessing rather than a burden.  He's right in a way, but I'm just not a gambler.  I hate deciding between things like this, because I know for the next year at least I will second guess myself.

Ah well, back to bad TV.
