two minutes ago they telephoned to tell me i'm offered a job at the unemployment place. i haven't decided what to think about that yet. it seemed to be a nice place, with lots of co-workers (which i guess is a good thing when you're new at a place... you have lots of people to choose friends from :). what makes me unsure is that they've started talking about needing "more hours" at the school where i teach (they already have more students than normally, and they are expecting more people to come any day now), so there's a chance that i could get more work there. probably not a full-time job, but maybe i don't want a full-time job? especially during winter i don't think i'd mind working a little less... and the wages they offered are lower than what i have now. of course i don't get much money now, as i only work twice a week, but as far as i know the size of your full-time salary matters, even if you're working less than full time (as it affects the amount of money you get when you're unemployed, sick, have babies etc.). on the other hand it's not good working less than full time too long either, as that lowers your compensations...

i guess i have to start weighing pros and cons... but it's difficult, as i have no idea if the job would be fun or not... and that's what really matters, isn't it? niceness of co-workers and funness of the tasks... i know my co workers at the school, and even though they are nice i wouldn't really mind exchanging them. but i don't know if i'd find any nice colleagues at the other place either, so maybe i'm better off sticking with the old ladies i allready have? and i know that i don't find the tasks i have at the school extremely fun, but they are not extremely boring either. there are lots of things i can think of that woule be millions of times more boring than what i do now! maybe the unemployment thing turnes out to be one of those?

this won't be easy...  ¶ 7:46 PM
