Ah the bittersweet thing that is life.
So apparently Richard and Carol, looking out for my best interest, asked this fellow Andy Kay to hire me to do solar for the new solar company forming in Brattleboro. Without hesitation Andy said "sure, we need more Photovoltaic techs on staff." So what this means is that I will most likely have a new job, doing solar again, soon. YAY! However, there is a slight down side. This means that I will have to have that awkward chat with Konrad about when and why I'm leaving working for him. I mean, I really like Konrad and all the guys I work with and I intend to give him at least 2-3 weeks notice BUT I think my abrupt mentioning of my leaving will make Konrad upset. That kinda worries me. I don't want to part on bad terms because, like I said, he's a good guy and I like him. The reason I fear he will get all bent out of shape is that, he only hired me on because of my solar experience and now, right when he's looking for solar jobs, he's going to lose his only knowledgeable solar guy... something he had thought will carry his business through the recession/housing slump :/
Still, I cannot make my life decisions based on the well being of others. If I take this other job, it is likely that my weekly salary will at least double and I can dig my ass out of all the debt I'm carrying. It's not like I can ask Konrad to pay me what this other job would pay me because I'm not worth that much to him. Besides, I did assist Konrad in getting his VT solar partnership; something he could/would not have gotten without my help. This will allow him to install solar in the state of Vermont even when I'm gone and, of course, I will give him advice and assistance whenever I can (if he wants it).
Anyway, I may be making a mountain out of a molehill but I hate disappointing people and despite my utter happiness at going back into solar, I'm a bit upset about making Konrad unhappy -_-
