Early spring is not the most aesthetic time of year. Dull browns and grays run together in wet smears, and the retreating snow reveals its winter-long aggregation of garbage and dog shit. Still, there is a sense of impending improvement, along with an increasing agitation and impatience for hot, sunny days.
I’ve been introduced to a job possibility by Stephanie, through one of her friends who works at a screen printing company. It’s for an office position, full time weekday 9-5 type of work, which would be wonderful right now. Getting tired of the home-health I’m in now, particularly the short hours and split shifts that still manage to consume the entire day.
The only drawback to this is the location, rather far out in Onalaska. Not driving, it would involve a bus ride north and then a transfer to the shared-ride taxi service, which while cheap would be time-consuming. I don’t feel like I can be very picky at this point, having been in need of full-time work for a while, and the manner in which this opportunity availed itself suggests it would be a mistake not to take advantage of this. After all, one can keep looking for something closer to home in the meantime.
One can also remember that if one had a full time job the potential for recovering one’s driving privileges and saving money to purchase a car would be greatly increased. Good luck with this; I’m curious to hear what exactly was “the manner in which this opportunity availed itself.” Maybe tomorrow night at dinner?
Alan,
I’ve been in this position before and I know it’s not the perfect job, but it’s easier to get a new job when you already have one.
Best of luck in what you do.
Jim
