I know I'm better than this...
So my 31st birthday came and went...oddly enough, it passed without incident. I mean, we went out to dinner with some friends, which was nice. I guess I'm still thinking of last year; (my 30th) I'll freely admit that I was a little depressed about turning 30...but 31 really isn't that big of a deal.
Anyway, I'm still looking for a full-time PERMANENT job. I'm doing temp work for Manpower for a company called Horizon Hobby. It's a total crap job, but it is full time. And I did get notice in the mail from the Sheet Metal Union. Not only did I pass the test (I kinda knew I did...it wasn't hard) but I also received notice that I have an interview with the board on the 17th at 5:48 p.m...a little too exact if you ask me, but whatever. I plan on being there. I just don't know if this is what I want to do. It seems like a good idea; it pays well, it's virtually guaranteed work, and it has benefits...but I KNOW I'm better than this, dammit! Part of me wants to stop looking for a job, and just stick with MP and see what happens after the interview, but another part of me keeps saying "You went to school, you are educated...you are NOT one of these hillrods with only a GED." If I get the union job, I can basically kiss any hope of ever writing good-bye. For at least a few years anyway. See, I would be working during the day, THEN attending class at the hall at night. I don't know...we could use the money, (obviously) but I don't want to resign my life to this just yet...anyone have any thoughts?
