Who'd be a single girl?

The worst thing about being a single girl is having to make all the decisions by yourself for yourself!! I wish I had a crystal ball right now.

Heres' the short end of the story: For 15 months I've been secconded into another job in the same company and I LOVE the job, LOVE the people I work with. In fact I dont want to go back to my old job in September!

However our company has restructured and the new job is available in Wellington. Not where I live!! Boohooooo I love living in Palmerston North.

Questions, questions, questions

Do I have stressful job - pressure to sell products, make revenue, daily meetings to push sales, constant reviews, more training, stressed out colleagues, everythings changed since I left and I have so much training to catch up on ........................BUT then I spend the nights sewing, being with friends, driving 5 minutes to anywhere in town, 45 minutes to 2 hours to family, my clubs, sewing days, rent at $200 for 2 bedrooms, nice quiet neighbourhood etc etc....

Do I have less stressful job - fun helpful colleagues, working in a team, no pressure, lots of compliments, great environment and I feel confident! I guess there will be quilting clubs down there,............. BUT the traffic is incredible, long drives to whereever I may live - will I feel as safe down there, no friends, no clubs, more expense travelling and rent no doubt, and 2 hours to 4 hours from family....

What to do, What to do? I guess I have to apply first and see if I get a job down there?? Can always find out what the wages will be. That may be a help. I don't have to make this decision overnight but soon

but BUT BUT??????????????

Where is Mr Wonderful who'd give me a hug and tell me what to do and come with me and make it so much easier????? He's not in my cupboard where he should be!

Only you can make this decision Karen.. and you should go with your gut feeling... whatever that may be.

Hi Karen,

What a dilemma!

I would list all the pros and cons of each job/City.
See what is going to be the best for you and to make you happy.
I am sure that you will find quilting groups in Wellington but it will be hard to leave all the friends you have made in Palmerston North.

I wish for the very best for you Karen whatever you choose.

Have a good weekend
Hugs
Carolyn
