well, i interviewed for a position here in longmont as a closing coordinator and they told me they would make a decision by the end of this week and they called me last night with an offer. she offered me the job before she asked me how much i make. so i make almost $9k more than she was offering so they set up a bonus plan. i get a certain percentage of the houses she closes. her commission would mean i would make exactly what i make now IF her closings continue, and she just got a couple listings for $2M and she has another one coming in for $3M. so what's the catch? i would have to go on paul's insurance and it doesn't cover infertility. he's going to ask at work if he can add it on but i'm not sure if he will be able to or not. so that's the catch. this is all WAY too expensive with out insurance but my spirit is getting crushed little bits more every day in my current job. ugh! and i have my appointment with the specialist on friday.
update: paul's insurance can not add on fertility. which is not so shocking. so now the question is, do i take this job anyway to help reduce my stress so that maybe i can get pregnant? or do i stay there like a sitting duck and maybe get laid off next month and not even have this job as a possibility. a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush right? but then do you think the bird in my hand is my current job, or this new job offer??? UGH!
ANOTHER update: i just talked to the woman that interviewed me to see if i could tell her on friday if i can take the position or not. i have an appt and i said "i don't have any other job offers or interviews, but i have an appt that will tell me what benefits i need and what i don't. would friday be too late for you?" she said "everyone needs good medical benefits so i understand that completely." i also asked her if i could start mid-august but i can't because she is going on a 2 week trip and won't be there to train me. so i would need to start august 4th. i offered to come in in the evenings to get started but she works evenings and the other staff doesn't work that late.
all that said, it gives us until friday to pray about it, think about it and see how things look like they are shaking out then.
i feel MUCH better about things now.
About Me
- The Boss of this page
- when my husband and i were hiking from georgia to maine in 2002 we sat on the side of the road on the PA 105 debating if we wanted to order a pizza or keep hiking on for the night. my husband looked down and saw that i was sitting in ice cream, and then i looked down and, at the same moment, we both noticed that the ice cream cone was smooshed into a pair of panty hose. we looked at the debacle, then back at each other then we both wondered in unison how in the world did those two items come together like that? this is sort of the long and the short of this blog. it's very random and yet smooshes altogether to make the debacle that is my life.

Wow, congrats on the offer. I need more information before I can vote! Does the new position not offer any benefits at all? When you say Paul's doesn't cover fertility - do you mean absolutely nothing? Like no Dr.'s appts or meds or testing? Or just no IVF? Call me! I'm at home today (Wed) :)
Your husband is a wonderful guy if he likes that game show! MAN!!
