Hard choices.
I'm very seriously thinking about not working as a snowboard instructor this winter. I am feeling like I don't have enough time to get things done already - and I am only working 5 days a week. Working at Jiminy would push it to working 7 days a week, only having two days a month off, and would make me overwhelmingly exhausted all the time. So I have a very strong reason to not go there.
But, I am struggling with this decision. Its a job I do because I love it. I love teaching, I love being on snow all winter. I derive a lot of satisfaction from it. When people ask what I do, I am most proud to say, "I'm a snowboard instructor." If I could afford to and it wouldn't kill me healthwise, I would happily quit my day job and go work on snow full time.
Rationally I know I should keep my weekends free and not overdo it, but I'm agonizing over the decision. I don't WANT to choose to not go back to the mountain! I want to go be there with my friends and enjoy the snow!
Harumph.
