Good Luck. Just remember to tell them you need off for the Memorial Day Weekend Bash.

Oh I know! I wouldn't miss it for the world, I've only been waiting a few years to go.
I already have reservations with hotels, friends, critter sitters, etc... I sure hope they understand and I think with me telling them right away abuot it it shouldn't be a problem, or at least I hope so.

They called me back already, she wanted to hire me over the phone, no interview or anything. But the pay cut would be a little more than I expected. She is letting me think about it over the weekend & I will call her Monday morning to let her know.

I know it would save me about $30-$50 a week in gas as it's a LOT closer, not to mention the hours are decent & I'd actually have more time at home too, due to the hours & less of a drive.
I don't the exact details, will ask on Monday, but I will get some sort of a discount for care of my animals. If it's a considerable discount that may be worth the job for sure.
And I do have Joe moving in with me so all my bills will be cut in half.
And if I take the job at least my foot is in the door and it's doing something that I LOVE doing!
But it's still a lot less per week. Before taxes it's about $260 less a week. OUCH

I just don't know what to do!

Ouch is right! That is a big difference in pay, but if you take all the other considerations into play maybe it is worth it. What about other benefits, insurances, paid time off etc?

This is all I have to say.
Are you going to be happy at this job?
If you choose yes, THEN TAKE IT!!

Rob took a job for 65k, got to work from home & lots of other goodies & the people were great!! Rob got an offer with Tucows for 100k, he went to the interview & realized he would never be happy there, so he turned it down. He has gotten nearly 2 offers/week & the pay was SOOOO much greater & the beniffits were higher too. He turned them all down! Last week he was offered 100k usa for 5 months to work for IBM, or 250k cdn for a year! Know what he said? No!

Don't worry you'll pick the right answer (I personally vote yes take it, as I feel the job with your family is TOO stressful for your health)

Sue you are a very smart lady......Do what feels right for you. Get all the info you can on Monday, and I know you will make a good solid decision. Good luck with whatever you choose {{hugs}}

I'm sorry I don't want to be the stick in the mud here, but that is over $1,000 a month! That is a lot of money. Is Joe going to pay that much towards your bills? Do your vet bills run that high? Or would you be willing to take a part-time job to make up the difference if you need to? I don't think you should stay somewhere that you are not happy, but I just thought I would throw that out there.
