Ok guys, I think I messed up again. You see I got a call for an interview on my answering mach. last week. It was for a gov. job at large nursing and assisted living home and is supposed to pay well from what I hear. I like my present job at a local assisted living center, but the pay is'nt that good and there are hardly any benefits (no time off, insurance, ect.) and I can't pay my bills without working my prn job at least 2-3 days a month too. Anyway, I have yet to talk to the lady as every time I call she does'nt answer. I work 3rd shift so I usually sleep from about 7a-3:30p or so. I tried calling several times after 3p and she doesn't answer, so I stayed up a little later and called around 8a, still no answer. I finally left a message earlier in the week wondering if the interview was still available. She called back and left a message that it was, but we should do the interview sometime by the end of the week. I got up a little early yesterday (a little before 3) and she did'nt answer, so I left a message again stating that I worked the night shift and keep missing her. I had planned on getting up early today, but overslept again so I'm thinking its probably too late. I have to work tomorrow so I'm not sure what to do. I'm thinking I probably should have set my alarm for around noon to get up and call. It's been a good 10 days since she first called now.
I most likely was a little hesitant about calling her back as the job is about a 2 hour drive away and I know that is impractical so I would have to put my house on the market to try to sell fast. I know I would probably take a loss on it in its current condition as it needs some work to look sell-able and I don't have cash to do it right now. Then I would have to find a place in the area I know nothing about, but it does seem to be a decent area with lots of entertainment, ect. I don't know, it just seems like this would be my only way to start paying all my bills and start getting out of debt, but not without difficulty in a big change by moving. I do kind of have a back up plan I've been mulling over-going back to school by taking distance classes and hopefully getting my RN. But that will take a good 1.5 to 2 years and I hate to borrow more money and there is no guarantee I will pass. I'm not sure what I should do now? I'm so mad at myself for being indecisive. Think its too late to call her again? I mean it is a big place and they probably have openings periodically, but I may have already left a bad impression by not getting a hold of her some way. What do you guys think I should do?
