yesterday i had gotten a phone call from my boss. he asked me if i wanted to sit down to discuss an opportunity with him about a move at work. there is a new position opening up at work and he really was pushing me to take this job. i knew of the position in some detail but not all. there was no created pay band for it yet, but the job entitled me to work weekends and have 2 days off during the week. after i found out i would have to work weekends, i declined the job opportunity. my boss sounded pretty upset about it. it really made me think throughout the night about the job and me turning it down.

it got me to the point that i didnt sleep very well all night. i kept tossing and turning and had an uneasy feeling in my stomach, like i screwed up by turning this position down. i felt like my boss was disappointed in me for not even wanting to sit down and discuss the job.

I just feel like at this point in time i do not get to spend much time with brianna or krissy. we both work weekends and have only sunday off. we hardly spend enough time with each other as is now, which is depressing enough. so if i took this job i wouldnt even have the weekends to spend with both of them. so i made my decision on family first.

later on this afternoon at our meeting, i spoke with a fellow worker who did sit down and discuss said job. turns out they wont budge on the days off. the days are set monday and "maybe" tuesdays off. there is no pay increase, so basically it is a lateral move. i feel good about my decision now.

right now with this new system they are putting in place it is forcing the sales reps to basically have the ability to sell. it is osmehitng we do not have the time to do really. they are making it so we do not have to merchandise stores anymore. our job would be strictly to sell and write orders. which would be totally awesome. i wouldnt have to touch a single case throughout the day. which could mean i could have the possibility to have saturday and sunday off. because i would spend the time friday night writing orders for monday so i didnt have to come out on saturday at all.

all in all i feel better for not jumping on that job "opportunity."

in other news, i have decided that come spring, i am going to enroll myself back into school and finish up and get my degree.
