Finally some blog-worthy news!

This evening I had the interview for that "customer service/telephone answering" job.

It went well enough, I feel, though I don't have extensive enough training/experience in the job category. I know I could learn it easily enough, & the work would be an appreciated rest from all the hard work I've been doing.

It features paid training for 16-24 weeks (depending on what they require of me & how quickly I learn, I suppose), and though I'd get 3 weeks vacation, and have more flexibility in my schedule, they require me to be available to work more hours per day than I'd be scheduled, they'd start me with a pay cut from my current job selling soda, require me to stay in that position for one year before transferring/quitting, and the training starts in like 3 weeks!
I'd have to quit my day job soon!

I don't know how dispensable I am in my current job, or how difficult that would make things there, but I'm a little uncomfortable up-and-quitting after 9 years there.

The potential new job would also require getting up an hour or so earlier, driving 30-40 minutes one way to work, and dressing in "business-casual".

I'd almost prefer that this new job was forced on me - I'd have to adjust then.
Is this the door to walk through to get where I want to be? Or will it delay me & my much-laid plans?


Lots to think about. Lots to pray about. Big decisions ahead, but I have goals now, and if this is what it takes to accomplish them, I'll accept the challenge. God will help me (wish I could see that traffic light!).
