I was offered a job! Well, if we are going to get all technical about this, I was offered two jobs! Ahh!
So now what?!
Well, for one, it means I'm moving to Madison, Wisconsin. It means apartment hunting and furniture shopping. It means another new city. And oh my goodness, it means car shopping!! Yay! I don't even know where to begin. That was a blatant lie. I will start with car shopping. And I even know which dealership to start at.
But really, first things first. I have to decide what job to take! One pays more and would require me to travel about 50% of the time. The other job pays less and has little to no travel. At my interview I was more interested in the job without travel. I liked the position better, and I liked the idea of less travel. While traveling had originally sounded charming and exciting, when I took a closer look at the schedule, 50% of the time is A LOT of time! If I move to Madison I will want to live there and get to know the area. Can I do that if I'm gone half the time?
As I'm talking this out, I think I know what job to take, but those of you readers with far more life experience than myself, what do you recommend?
Okay, pause. I have a job! Woohoo!
Gosh, I'm on the train as I'm writing this, and I haven't told anyone yet! No one knows. People will know before this is posted, but right now it's my little secret. My little secret that I am very, very proud of. Something I'm less proud of: I started crying on the platform while I was waiting for the train. I nipped that in the bud, and only had to catch one tear on my cheek, but it happened.
SOOOOO happy for you, Meaghan! You've traveled a lot, and I'm sure you will continue to do it throughout your life, so maybe it will be a fun thing to really settle into your new place for a while and connect with the area. Can't wait to visit you in Wisconsin!
ReplyDeleteYes! Please come to visit! I hear the summers are absolutely beautiful... want to come out this summer? Maybe you and my mom should plan a girls' weekend... I know she will have plenty of time!
DeleteP.S. Yeaaa, you'll have an oven:)
ReplyDeleteAgreed!
DeleteSo I don't think you've told us what the job is, right? When do we get to know?? And you'll be in NY when we're there, right?? I can't wait to see you!
ReplyDeletemuch love,

ps if the other job required travel to New Zealand, you made the wrong decision...
You're right, I haven't told you much about it. I only told them today which position I have picked, so I'm still waiting for details myself. When I know, you will know too! And yes, I'll be in NY, so I'll tell you all about it! The other job didn't have any international travel. It was silly places, like Morgantown, WV. No thank you!
