I want to live with my fiancee, it is KILLING me to be apart from her so much of the time. I love my job, but I love my lady even more. Is this sacrifice necessary?
She has been at Atchison Ford for 6 months now, and she's happy as a pig in shit. I've been at Apple Annie's for 4 years.
Why is it that I am always so willing to compromise?
Why do I need to be the one to give everything up, everything I've worked so hard for, just to move back to the city where I grew up? I don't even like it there, Wayne is so stifling.
But I miss my family. And I miss my childhood friends. And I want to be able to live with the woman I'm going to marry.
I am terrified that I'm going to get this job. And then it's going to blow up in my face.
What do I do then?
I don't have a fall-back plan.
The job I keep referring to is a story in itself. I met my third cousin, Mike, at the viewing before my Grandma's funeral.
Last time I saw him I was trying to drown him in the lake, I think I was 3 or 4. Whoops...
I guess he's forgiven me, he asked me what I do for a living and promptly offered me a position in management with Little Caesar's, where he says I can make $10,000 more per year than I am now, to start. He can do that, he was recently promoted to regional manager.
So I just finished typing out my resume and emailed it to the lady he referred me to.
Did I just make a big mistake?
I am just so tired of working myself to the bone to make ends meet. A usual work week for me is
Mon Host 8:30-3 Waitress 3-10
Tue Host 8:30-3
Wed Host 10-3 Waitress 3-10
Thu Host 3-10
Fri Host 3-10
Sat off
Sun Waitress 3-10
My schedule has gotten a lot more erratic since a few of the hosts left to go back to school, and one of the managers had major neck surgery so now I fill in as acting manager on occasion.
I really love my job. I love the people there, I love that people come to me if they aren't sure about something, I can answer most questions.
I'm grateful for the opportunity that my cousin has given me, and I'm so scared of it at the same time.
If I get this, I'm afforded the possibility of a transfer to an area where Nikki and I can move in together.
I signed a lease this past July with Tegan, so I'd be able to start my training out here in New Baltimore without breaking it. It feels like I'm covering my bases, but I'm certain there's something I've left out... Or maybe that's just my habit of worrying about everything slinking in.
*let's all take a deep breath and hope for the best*
