Call the other company tomorrow morning and tell them you need to accept the other job TODAY if they are not able to make you a job offer. But... it seems I remember that you didn't need a job.... this one will take you out of his complete day, no? What are the hours on the other one? I guess my point is, if you don't NEED the job to survive, you can afford to wait on a job that still leaves you time with your husband, unless you don't want that. ?

Ruth: I think you have to weigh the pros and cons to each position. Which one calls to you, regardless of whether or not the offer is on the table? From there, you can decide if you can wait for the second position.

I know you would like to sew something up soonest, get back on the track before the holidays and have your caregiver on board. But, Ruth, you are a Pharmacist. There are parts of your career that you love and some you hate. Try to sort out which one gives you more of the "I love."

I am stuck in paperwork. I am best and happiest doing hand-on patient care. But I can't abandon 20 patients if I am needed at home. And I certainly can not, at this time, remove myself mentally from my responsibilities at home. So I appreciate that my employer found a position for me, I still have some patient contact and have my outlet.

Those are the things you have to think of. What will work best for you - #1. Because William will be happy if you are. I know that from Bruce. William will adjust. Not like having you home 24/7, but he knows that is not what is best for you.

Do a pro-con list on both positions. Take a break - go get a cup of tea or glass of wine and then go back to your list. Your inner self will tell you. Best and please let us know, Debbie

funny a position opened up ( i knew it was coming) at my old job --- and dan has given me the blessing -- and i loved my job , hated the stress of it but also excelled in/ with stress.. former co workers are encouraging me to come back ( providing the powers that be would allow - i burned a few bridges) but it just doesent feel right so i think for now i am gonna pass on it and wait and see what happens.. you Ruth are more motivated than me - obviously with all you do to help william improve and working fulltime through it all ... i guess my only thought is make sure you are going to be doing something you want to do- or you will go straight back to that unhappy place in your world.. but yes the job market in places other than where i happen to live is bad-- ummm ND has lots of open positions for your paticular field -- care to come and freeze?? LOL go with your gut and at least with your education you do have options...nancyl

Thank you all. I needed some input.

I was told from two different sources: the pro and con list. That really made the choice easy.

I am leaning toward the call center. It will be alot less stress. and something that it very different. I am excited about learning somthing new.

Ruth :

call the other place & let them know that you need to decide which offer to accept so if they can let you know quickly. do pros & cons & then pick the one you like

And you asked, "What should I do? "Any advise is welcome" Well my friend here it is, Write each job on a piece of paper the same size then place them in a small container, shake it up, then reach in and draw one out!!!

That will be the job of of your choice and happy working!!

SEE case solved!!!

Ha, ha, you have the 'choice' part down pat!

My advice would be to chose the job that you feel would be the least stressful. After all, caregiving can be stressful and recovery is slow and ever changing sometimes.

Good luck in you decision, and It's nice you have the choices.
