Dilemma

I've got a little dilemma. I applied for and was offered a temporary job doing data entry for the next 14 days non stop. The pay isn't great, but it is work, and it will stretch out my unemployment for a few additional weeks since I won't need to make a claim.

I felt about as good as I could about the offer (I had just sat in a computer lab for 3 hours, suffering while the Hep B shot I got yesterday took control of immune system. I was looking forward to a few weeks of work, and then I checked my phone.

Oklahoma City had called while I was in trying to get a job, and left me a message that I needed to be there in September 8 for a CPAT orientation. One of the requirements for the first job was a need to attend work 14 days straight.

Anyways, I'll be calling the fire department tomorrow morning and getting as much information as I can to make a good decision. Oklahoma City is one of the 2 firefighting jobs that I really wanted, the pay is good, the cost of living is very low, and there is a housing development a few blocks away from the Temple that is very very affordable.

Please keep me in your prayers.

You are always in our prayers.

And yeah, sometimes choices are more stressful than no choice.
