What a week! A promotion at work that I never expected. Then my boss tells me that I'll be getting an office after the first of the year. SSShhhhh...It's a big secret but some MAJOR changes are coming down the pike!! Then, a job offer from my chiropractor!
Doc said the job is mine if I want it. He has a girl leaving in about seven weeks when her baby is born. It would be 4 days a week and less pay but I would be just a few minutes from my home and the school our kids will be attending. I would have an hour lunch, no weekends, evenings or holidays. Currently, I have a 10 minute drive to work, no weekends, evenings or holidays and I work 5 days a week.
It's no secret that I haven't been totally thrilled with my employer over the last year. My boss' attitude has improved dramatically over the past few weeks and she is actually telling people now she is preparing to have 3 of us off back to back to back this winter and into spring. I think she's come to accept the fact that I will be a mother soon come hell or high water!
I'm so thankful to have such a great job. I never went to college and I have a position that people go to college to get a degree for. A senior loan officer. I've been there 12 years and make a great living. Yay for me. But, it's not all about the money. I love what I do. I love lending. I love helping people use credit responsibly. I love teaching people how to improve their financial situation. If if could be a lender and a financial planner in one profession I would be in Heaven.
Decision, decisions....I don't have long to decide. He wants me to start ASAP if I want the job. I am leaning towards staying at the credit union but I have to pray hard to see if that is where God wants me.
Long overdue final update (such a good one)!

Oh M, what a week indeed! Which one do you think would give you the flexibility you might need when caring for the kiddos? That might be on way to look at it, or another way, would your job be more interesting working at the Credit Union than for the Chiropractor, I assume the roles are quite different, huh? Just some thoughts. Keep us posted and I will be praying for you!
As much as we don't like problems and decisions...yours is actually a good one (as there are many out there who can't find one job). Wow..when I get into these situations...I get out some paper and write down the pro's and cons of each position...and sometimes the answer becomes very obvious....I also take time to pray and with God...you'll come to the right conclusion. Good luck with it all!!!
I love how you mentioned that it is close to school your kids will go to...such hope in your words!!
