Job offer

Sometimes God shows us what we don't want to make us realize what it is we do want. or maybe just to get out of the rut that we've gotten in.

I have currently been in this situation. I'm miserable here in Albany, miserable living with my parents, miserable working at my dads office. (Even though I knew I'd be at the Elections office for about a month) Well a friend of mine texted me one day two weeks ago. She said that she had gotten her old job back and would be leaving her job that she currently has. She asked if I wanted her to give them my resume when she gives them her 2 weeks notice. I said sure. So that Monday she did and then the owner emailed me on Tuesday. I was a little surprised. My friend had told me that they would need someone ASAP so of course they were getting on the ball with finding someone. So we set up an interview for that Friday. By the way the job was in Atlanta. So Thursday afternoon I drove up to gmommys house, who only lives 20 mins away from the job, and spent the night at her house. I had the interview on Friday at noon. It went alright. Apparently it went more than alright because the owner called me the next day and asked when I wanted to start.

I turned it down though. It just was not at all what I wanted or where I wanted to be. I was stressing so much about what to do about it. Once I decided that it wasn't what I wanted and that I would turn it down if I got it I felt so much better. A huge relief! The whole time I just worried about it. Is this what I want, do I want to be back in Atlanta, will I be good at it, will I enjoy it, will I enjoy being there, will I be happy. And the answer to all of those was NOPE! It seemed more like a step in the wrong direction. I'd like to be closer to the beach not 3hrs in the other direction. I hate sitting at a computer all day working on photoshop editing out meticulous little things. Changing from one unhappy place to another unhappy place isn't a good idea. At least here in Albany I can get away more often, do more photography than I would have been able to if I had that job. It just didn't make sense to take it.

Well I turned down the job on Saturday and on Sunday I went to the auditions at Albany Theater. Well I got a call back. There are things here that I still want to do I guess I just needed the push. So that's where I'm at now. Still in Albany, same old jobs at my dads office and the elections office, but a little more happy about it. And looking forward to trying some new things.
