Haven't heard from the newspaper yet. HOWEVER, my manager at Bed, Bath & Beyond called to tell me that one of the girls gave her notice. She works at Customer Service all the time (I LOVE working CS!) and her last day will be Jan. 22nd. He asked me if I'd be willing to work up to 35 hours/week (at $8.75/hr) with no benefits. He wanted to know what the status was of the newspaper job and I told him I hadn't heard anything (Joan did say a possible Thursday interview would be scheduled). I asked him about my yearly review with raise and he said the raise wouldn't be till the beginning of February. I told him I wouldn't need benefits since I get them through the state anyway.

I'm kind of stuck here. Do I take the job at BB&B and hope that the newspaper job comes through eventually?? Or do I wait till I hear from the newspaper?? The paper would be paying me almost $15/hr with benefits, 401K and profit sharing, not to mention my own Pet of the Week column. And I'd be doing what I love doing best, writing.

Any thoughts???
