Hey ladies, its been a week or more since I've posted, I think. I'm glad to see that you're all doing well. Timmy - congrats on starting the new job. I hope you love it. I'm sure you'll LOVE the commute. I started a new job back in January and I'm not loving it at all. The people are nice. It really isn't what I wanted to do, especially long term. I'm not using all of my job skills, so I'm afraid that I'm going to lose them. All of this is made worse by how inflexible the job is. When I interviewed, I made it plain that I was looking for a bit of flexibility. If my daughter is home sick, I'd like to be able to work from home. If she has a doctor's appointment in the late afternoon, I'd like to be able to leave an hour early and just make it up later in the week or work from home that night. Yesterday, I had to take a 1/2 day leave to take my daughter to a 4:15 appointment. 4 hours leave! The company requires leave to be used in 1/2 or whole days. So, for one hour early, I got screwed out of leave time. That just isn't what I was promised.
Well, yesterday a job opportunity fell into my lap. I heard about 2 openings on a new 3 member DBA team. I know the guy already hired and a good friend is considering the other position. I sent my resume in today and got a call within 15 minutes. I have an interview with them on Friday. This is happening so fast, I'm not yet sure if this is the job that I want.
How do I know? I don't want to make another mistake and pick a company that doesn't work for me. The money and commute will be almost identical, so that won't matter. What do I do????
