RE: Re:WENT for interview this morning

[Guest guest]

I went for the interview and did well. They want to hire me. They are suppose

to call me to set up my drug screen in the next couple days. I am not sure

about the job. I just heard things in the interview that don't really sound

good to me. For number one, I will have to choose two days a month that are my

" off days " that I will be willing to be called to work if needed. (This is a

salary job also). That is " taking call " no matter how you see it. I need to

know exactly what my days and time off are because with fibro it is very

difficult to pull alot of extra hours. It is also hard to break a routine for

me. I am in so much pain today after this very long day of interviewing there

and then going to work and getting off very late. With that job, I might wind

up having to work a 7 or 8 day stretch without a day off if I have to give up

days off.

I will think hard about that job. I feel like some of the responsibilities will

be biting off more than my fibromyalgia body will allow.

I am thinking of just keeping my current job.

thanks for everyone's support.

love,

Debra V.

Hi Debra,

I wish you all the best on your interview! I know you'll do fine.

If you're like me, I don't like change. I don't do well with it at

all. Lol... I've always been that way.

Hope you're feeling better. I'm aching something awful, today. More

rain is on the way, not to mention that I have a sinus headache.

Grrrrrrr.... .

Take care.

Gentle Hugs,

Kristi

Debra,

You should go with your instincts on this. If this isn't the right one; maybe

there is another one down the road. I know you needed benefits; but you don't

need them to at the expense of your health. Trust me, I've got that T-shirt and

I'm wearing it. LOL. If I had it to do over; oh heck I wouldn't have learned

any better; but I do know the stress I put myself under for so long did me in.

I will say that my instincts have usually been right on things. Whether or not

I listened to them. So my word of advice is to trust your gutt.

Dear Debra,

I know you will make the right decision. Working those hours would be very

difficult.

How right you are sweetheart.  I know the job will serve to make me more ill and

I will be expected to have alot of responsibilities as a " supervisor " .  That

will mean I need to get up and run when they want me to.   Like the post I just

wrote to , I feel like I would be a fish taking the bait.  If I were young

and healthy I would grab it in the blink of an eye.  BUT,

I can see that the job will just tear me down more than I already am.

Your experience certainly gives you insight into what this probably entails.

love ya,

Debra V.

Hi Debra,

Wow, what a dilemma, girl. One the one hand the benies would be lovely but...if

it's gonna wear you down and you wind up worse than you are...is it worth it.

That is a call only you can make. How much time do you have to decide?Good luck,

honey, that's a tough one. I'll be thinking of you.

Hi Debra,

I just read that you turned it downed. Sounds like a smart move. Anything in a

supervisory position spells trouble. Hey, something else may come along that is

perfect. I'm glad you made the decision so quickly and didn't have to agonize

over it.

Debra,

I feel for you - I work from home doing transcription. When I first started

I was ecstatic at a new job and the fact that I could work from home. I

think I actually worked harder doing online transcription than any of my

bricks and mortar jobs. I'm working for a company part time - but part time

meant set day time hours and other hours I could fill in at night and on the

weekends to get the work done and sent back in. It was killing me. It

wasn't exactly part time. The money was great but I was paying for it

physically big time. It took me a long time to decide to cut back my hours

drastically (well, along with my doc telling me so). I went from working

well over 40 a week to 15 a week (3 hours per day) and I'm still having a

hard time doing that. It's come to the point where employment is slowly

being pushed out of the picture. Daily life chores seem to be all I can

handle, and even then it doesn't always work out the way I want it to. So I

understand what you are saying about biting off more than you can chew.

As I said, the money was great but I had to decide which was more important

- and as you said - what your fibro will allow you to do. Not always easy

choices especially when money and pain are involved. It is definitely

difficult making choices regarding responsibility when one has fibro and

other physical issues. Ain't in grand?
