*thinky face*
So, it goes like this. I've got this job, you see, and this job is crappy. Now, I feel a perfect ass for complaining about having a job at all when a lot of people (even my own mate) are having trouble finding employment.
The catch is, it's a cashier position so it's terribly boring, presents the intellectual challenge of a copy of twilight and eats my weekends as the cookie monster eats cookies. Furthermore, my immediate management is incredibly unprofessional (going as far as to yell at one of my superiors/her subordinate right in front of me) and continually penalizes me for not being there on days I have repeatedly specified that I'm not available.
So, like any sane person I sought another job. And some on-campus positions look quite promising, furthermore they could give me some marketable skills; problem is they're most likely temporary, a few months at best. Nothing is written in stone, but if possible I'm jumping ship to save my weekends and social life. It'll kill my income a little, but at the same time studying and getting class work done with quality will be much easier.
Even if the job doesn't come through, I'll have to give my two weeks soon if my classwork keeps getting (just a little mind you) worse.
So therein is my quandary; on the one hand, I can stay at my current soul-crushing shitty job, have no weekends and probably loose a lot in grades, but get paid well and have a nice, long time at a job on my resume and have a holiday job or! Work less in a much more challenging environment that pays a lot less but renders useful skills for my resume (some light HTML and dreamweaver experience), also have to find yet another job in a few months.
What do you think, LJ buds?
