Decisions, decisions Hey all, everyone still alive? I will now give major props to Dan for helping me get all the furniture moved over and my apt looking like an apt. It still needs tons more furniture, it looks a little barren (will do pics soon), but it's getting somewhere good. I know you gave up most of your weekend, hun, and I'm sorry we couldn't get laid, but at least the house looks nice! speaking of which, I still have plans to do the final cleaning of the Ann Arbor apt tomorrow. Ugh. Don't want to do it, but need the deposit back. I also need to gas up the Jag, but I don't have cash and I don't want to put something else on the credit cards so gaaah! I'll just have to deal with the lull in the money situation for a few. On that front, we have an interesting development though. My old boss, Roy, called me up and offered a full time position on Friday. I missed the call, and assumed they wouldn't be giving me jack shit so I didn't call them back. He phoned again today and it seems they want me back, bad enough to make a few concessions. So far, they're talking about benefits and a significantly higher salary. I'm not sure how much or what benefits, although health care alone will make me consider their offer a little more, but I agreed to stop in tomorrow after the cable guy and before the cleaning to talk. Part of me thinks they want to offer me Blondie's job, but he emphasized that I would only be working 9 months a year with the summers off. Thus, I don't think it would be her job he's offering. Part of me is happy about that, she has an ungodly stressful job that I don't want, but another part of me is unhappy becuase if I did have her job I would be working mostly with Roy, which would lead to less personality conflicts. So, I'm wondering, are they offering me my old job back only with a better package? Did LSA Media finally get a union that demanded benefits and higher pay for the staff if we were forcibly laid off each year? Am I just that important that they're willing to promote me to David's status? I honestly don't know. A third part of me theorizes that maybe, just maybe, they CREATED a position for me based on my input to various bosses. If it's the latter, a late-afternoon tech worker or someone to supervise the other yahoos working there, I might just be pursuaded to take it...assuming the money and health care arguments work out. The only other job I can see that would grant me benefits there would be the receptionist's job, but I don't want to work under the big boss Rick, he dislikes me and I dislike him, it all works out that way. Anyway, I don't know what that old black man has up his sleeve, but I'll let you know after tomorrow. Either way, I'm going to ask for time to think about the offer. Part of me really likes my current porno plans and doesn't want to give that up for the bullshit, gossip, and hassle of that office. Another part of me wants security though. I know that I'll still have the summer off to work somewhere else and on other projects, but they're really going to have to pursuade me to return. I won't do it for peanuts. Daphne |
