Well. I got the job a Borders. And i should be happy, right? Well i cant really because they are only hiring part time right now... and i cant afford to pay rent on half time... SuperAmerica gas station hired me full time, but i cant do part time AND full time. so i had to choose... I made a Pro's and Con's list that went somthing like this:
Super A.
PROS-$8.00 an hour, $200 dollars a semester for college, Full time, Health insurance
CONS-i'd have to work 2pm to 10pm every day (i'd miss the afternoon and most of the evening activities). It doesnt interest me.
Borders
PROS- Dream Job.
CONS- Part time.
Lame... i know. So the manager at SuperAmerica asked me to come in and train at 8am on saturday and that i'd start work full time on monday. Well i spent most of friday debating, trying to see my way around this... I didnt want to turn down super america because i know its the smart choice, but i didnt want to turn down borders because its my flippin' dream job and i've been trying to get a job at a book store since i was 16, what if it took another 3 years to get a job at a book store? so i wanted more time to think about it so at 7:30am i called SuperAmerica and lied and told him i had a dentist appointment that i forgot about and if i could come in later that day or tomorrow.and he said "yeah, i'll call you monday and we can figure it out" ....so now its tuesday... i havent heard anything... and im thinking i probably blew my chances there...
AND THEN i looked online and saw that there was another Borders that was hiring full time, and that they were going to schedual interviews May 1st and 2nd. so i put in an application and i hope i hope i hope i hope i get it... but who knows. until then i have to work part time and borders, but that would be kinda crappy to work for 3 weeks and then quit and work at a different borders. what if i cant transfer? what if i dont get it? i cant just put all my hopes into this...
AND JUST NOW Paul, the manager from Super America called and was like "if you still want it call me back and come fill out the paper work and we'll train you right away" And thats good, but what happens friday when i have training for Borders? If i turn them down will the other Borders hiring full time find out? And again, what if i get the job!? then its really crappy to quit after working just a little. UGH i dont know what to do... HELP.
and just for fun here are some videos of this guy Jack Conte. he has really really awesome videos, so even though i know no one watches the videos i put up, these i promise are worth your while.

dang. that is complicated.
umm. i dont even know what you should do. i say apply for the new boarders and in the meantime work at the gas station. if you end up getting the full time book store gig quit the gas station. thats life they will get over it. but then you won't be able to list them as a reference probably.
also would boarders give you benefits?
i miss you slash love you.
i feel so honored to have my name in your title.
and i second what rach says. that's really confusing and def a hard decision :( i say: do what rachel said.
thank you for the update my love :) miss youuuu
Wow, such a conundrum. ...
Will the gas station job still be there for you at this point? If so, go for it like Rachel says. Health insurance is very good to have, and as you pointed out, you can't afford to live off the dream job. You have your whole life ahead of you to get your dream job (maybe it will come through in the next few weeks....)
Is there any possibility that you can work part time at Borders while working full time at the gast station? That sounds like a drudgery, but if you could tuck away a little money for bad times, or in case your car broke down, you might feel good. 2 jobs would be great!
We need an update. How are things? Did you wait too long and lose both jobs so are embarrassed to post? We love you anyway. ....
