One of the positions I’d been looking at elsewhere in this jungle won’t be happening. It pays slightly more, but has no benefits. Not that I’ve been to a doctor or dentist in the last eight months, but having the ability is something important. I’m not about to work 10 months without any form of medical benefits or some kind of IRA/401k.

I’ve heard from at least one of my references for the Seattle job who has been contacted. I’m starting to lean heavily toward taking the job if I’m offered it. The opportunity and the money both make sense.

Turmoil speaks of a haphazard, busy life full of action. It’s the wrong word.

I’m considering many different possibilities which has me constantly thinking.

1) Job: where should I look next?
2) Wife: does a Mail Order Nebraskan Bride website exist?
3) Location: do I want to live in Japan next year?

I’m serious about all but one-half of one of these options. If you know me, you’ll figure it out.

Update: I’ve decided this post is dumb and overly cryptic. Basically, I’m saying I wish I had a good, godly Christian woman around here that I could woo off her feet and marry, but most of the ones I know all live in Nebraska and it’s gonna be hard to get the same quality up here near the Puget Sound.

I’ll know within the next two weeks. After finding out more, I’m not sure if I want the job. It’s either call center or “revenue recovery.” Not exactly how it sounded on paper. I’d get paid more and better hours, but my soul would slowly suffocate.

I need some way to find a job I can ride out until next summer. It would make things easy. Otherwise, I think I’ll have to stay where I am. I’m also kind of worried because by the next time I do a shift bid the company may have cut all the closing shifts. I wouldn’t mind having earlier hours, however I rely on the 10% shift differential to pay my rent/bills.

This job isn’t officially dead yet in my eyes, but I’ve got doubts and I think the interviewers had doubts.

Time to look some more.
