Help me I think I'm Stupid.
So. A couple of months ago I had an interview with a guy across town over in clifton. A sign shop as well, but they do alot more electrical stuff. We mainly deal with vinyl and banners and such. Anyway. he told be originally it would be an artist possition which im down with. so once i got there it morphed into this mostly sales + the art for whatever i sell, job. wasnt to interested in that. so i said no. well about a week ago i get a call out of the blue and he wants/needs a graphic artist, and calls me tells me its about 80% design 20% phone answering, and laying vinyl. which is what i do now. so i was cool with it. Went to talk to him again. I get there and he decides on top of that i would be doing billing too. meh, i kinda do that here to so thats cool. im pretty much fed up with the place i work now so i really just wanted a new job. and i knew this guy started at $13/hr compaired to the $10 i make now. (with the potential to be up to $15/hr within three months) All good things so far. or SO-SO things. so we keep talking and he blurts out, "how do you feel about moving to Delta?" (for those of you not from the area or dont know, Delta is a boring ass 35-40 mile one way drive across the desert) for a little comparison here... right now, i drive 4 miles round trip everyday (this includes coming home for lunch, and i know i shouldnt drive but whatever). if he were to stay in clifton, its a 16 mile round trip a day if i DONT come home for lunch, which i wouldnt. this is DOUBLE that ONE WAY. not so down with traveling that far everyday, cause i DONT really want to LIVE in delta. as i said saturday night at the bar, as much as i hate GJ, i love it. so i really think that the extra money would soley be spent on gas and maintinance. ( i change my oil twice a year cause thats how long it takes me to get to 3000 miles. ) its not a sure thing that he will be moving to delta by june, but he said if it doesnt happen then it WILL happen sometime. he called me this morning and said he wanted me to work for him. i turned him down. ive been kicking myself all day. im not sure that i did the right thing, but i just didnt think that it was right right now in my life. i have enough uncertainty in my life as it is. i dont want to have to worry about when i am going to have to start traveling 70-80 miles a day. am i an idiot????
