I work for a (financially stable) high school district in the South Bay. I was laid off two years ago from a very financially UNstable high school district, from a job that I adored. I make more money now which is great, but I DETEST my job. It's nothing but data entry and filing, all day everyday. My old job had me at a school site, interacting with kids and staff everyday. I loved it and was devastated when I was laid off. I have 3 kids that are all (as of this fall) in school and I'm almost divorced (thank god).
Fast forward to today, I get a call from the HR director at my old district, offering me my old job back at the school I wanted, when I was there. It's a small school (less work, more flexibility) and it's literally 2 minutes from my house. Right now I commute 16 miles one way. I would likely have the flexibility to take my kids to school everyday if I make this move, and be very close by if any problems arise with them during the day. The down side to this job (really the only one I can think of) is the money. I got a nice bump up when I got this job and I'd go back down to where I was 2 years ago if I take this. Not a huge tragedy, but I'd have to make some serious lifestyle changes, including finding a roommate.
So J, what should I do? Stick with the money, or concede that life is too fucking short to miss so much of my kids lives? I have 3 working days to make a decision. HELP!!!
Sincerely,
Desperate for change!
Dear Desperate for a change,
You couldn't ask me about goddamn relationships, haters or sex, could you? You had to get all fucking serious so I can actually think. Damn you, fucker. Damn you. In all seriousness, you are in a really fucked up situation, friend. Two things that are important - MONEY and FAMILY. The question is, is one better than the other? My honest answer for your dilemma - NO.
You got three fucking kids. You're about to be divorced. You make good dough. Up pops the job you've always wanted (and had), however, if you go back, you make less (that fucking sucks), BUT have the awesome ability to spend more time with your kids. Initially, I would say, "Lady, don't be a fucking fool...take the job you always wanted, have that flexibility/convenience and be happy." That's what I WOULD have said. However, you got yourself a little problem. You MIGHT have to find a roommate. I'm no fucking Einstein, but what I do know, is that your chances of finding a roommate that knows you have 3 fucking kids - SLIM! Hey, call me a fucking asshole all you want, but that's the honest truth. You know this. And unless your mom and dad are your roommates, then you have yourself an interesting fucking dilemma.
See, money makes the fucking world go round. No one can deny it...no one should deny it. If you do, go fuck yourself because you can't buy shit with free fucking hugs mother fuckers. The reality you have is, if you take this job with lower pay, you basically can't spend shit. Throw the roommate situation out of the equation because honestly, how long will that fucking process take? FOREVER? No one in their 20's is gonna wanna stay with your ass because quite frankly, kids will scare the shit out of them. Plus, they would feel weird drinking, getting high and fucking in the house with little Tommy and his two other siblings around. A thirty-something might work, but honestly, if someone in their 30's is still looking for a place to stay...that could be a recipe for disaster. Why? Well because it just is. I have no fucking clue. I just find it odd if you're over 30 wanting to live with someone with kids, you either have no fucking life, you're a pedophile, or a goddamn serial killer. Sorry to scare you, but there are crazy mother fuckers in this world. And I ain't trying to see you on the 10 o'clock news for cutting some chicks titties off for jerking off your son while he was asleep. Just sayin'.
Don't even think about wanting a roommate that is 40 or over. Fuck that shit. You mine as well shoot yourself now. You thought thirty-something's might be weird...well, how would you like to come home to some old ass chick using your vibrator screaming your name? Weird right? I mean, if you're into that shit, cool. But to me, if a stranger is gonna stick something in her vagina that you've used for the last 5 years of your life, you mine as well stick your finger in your asshole and use it as a toothbrush. Get my point?
The solution: If you go for the less paying job, don't find a roommate. Be frugal as fuck and enjoy the time with your kids. Money is everything but not enough to have your kids fucking hate you and plot to murder your ass because "you were too fucking busy working". Kids these days need love and guidance. Give that to them and they'll appreciate it. If you don't want to, let me know when your funeral is. This situation could turn into the MENENDEZ BROTHERS all over again (minus the insurance policy). If you take the job and get stressed because of a smaller bank account, remember...shit always works out. If it doesn't, your ass better be robbing a fucking bank.
You're Welcome,
J-Wunder
