Yes! I got it! I now work for the city.
I’ll be making a lot more money. The benefits are incredible. Forty hours a week (more if there are hurricanes/natural disasters). Wonderful retirement program. Tuition reimbursement.
I won’t actually start for a few more days, because of drug tests and what not, but I am definitely hired.
Now, why do I say it’s a shitty job?
Because I will be working in the city’s waste water facility. Yes, I’m treating waste water and sewage.
Literally, a shitty job.
Actually, it’s not as bad as it seems. I toured one of the facilities today, and it’s all very clean and well maintained. If I need anything, like boots, gloves, respirators, etc, that’s all provided.
There was only one part of the plant where it smelled like sewage, and that’s just a small part of the job.
But the room for advancement is far beyond what it is at my current job. And once I get my operator license (at the city’s expense, of course!) , I get more pay. When I get the next license - more pay!
Next license - you guessed it. More pay! Mo’ money! Mo’ money!
Now here’s my dilemma. As you know, I work part time.
Should I keep my part time job? I’d have to work that during the closing shift. I’m thinking about cutting my hours back to around 15-20 hours, 3 or 4 days a week. Right now, my schedule is all over the place. Close one night, open the next, with a mid-shift here and there.
Or should I just quit? And if I do, should I give a 2 week notice? The thing is, I’ve practically begged them for full time since I started, and always got the run around. Do I owe them 2 weeks? Or would a week’s notice be sufficient?
I’m not the kind of guy to just walk out on a job. I’ve always given a notice. However, this job has bankrupted me and I can’t afford to wait 2 more weeks.
So what do you think? Keep the job, or quit?
Regardless, I’m happier than I’ve been in a long time. I have a new job, the happy pills are working, and I’m finally getting work some work done on my house.
Yay me!
