All Up In The Air

I have a second interview today.

I’m apprehensive about going because I don’t really want the job. I mean, it’s an AMAZINg job as the assistant to a wealthy publisher of an affluent magazine, but it’s all the way on South Beach and the hours are 9-6. This means I will have to find someone to pick up my children EVERYDAY from school and with traffic I won’t get home until nearly 7pm every night, IF I leave at exactly 6pm.

If I was single with no kids I would be crying with joy right now. I know I did well in the first interview but the last assistant left the job because she wanted to start a family. I already have a family so I know it’s going to be a conflict. If I had a husband I could probably work this job, but I don’t and I don’t want to put my sons off on others on a regular basis.

But the thing is, they’re very much interested and it would mean some STABLE income. I still havent heard from the Director here at the Upper School about the position I interviewed for. But it was a long weekend, maybe he’s just getting settled. I can’t let a permanent position pass when I am still unsure of where I stand at this school.

I would love to get the job at the school. It’s close to my house, to my son’s school and the environment is so pleasant. It could also lead to other positions within the school, who knows, maybe I can uplift and inspire the students here.

But off I go, to South Beach for my interview. I’ll let you know how things turn out.

Keep your fingers crossed.
