To Work or Not to Work

Having a year off from working after selling my business I decided I'd look for a job. Mainly because it seemed the thing to do. There was a new store opening that is something like Home Depot and I thought it sounded exciting being involved in the setup of something new. As soon as I saw the ad in the paper requesting resumes from interested people I sent mine in. I was impressed when I heard back from them after a couple of days asking me to come in. Can't say I was too impressed when they handed me an application for employment which asked pretty much everything that was in my resume. I did however fill it out but left in disgust thinking what a screwed up system they had. At that stage I wasn't certain if I even wanted to work there so when I didn't hear anything after a couple of weeks I didn't really care. Over two months after I first applied they called me to come in for an interview.
While on my way there I got a phone call from another employer asking to come in for an interview. When I arrived for the first interview I was handed a contract for employment. Being the honest person I am I told them I had an interview elsewhere so would have to get back to them about the contract. A couple of days later I went for the other interview but was then faced with a dilemma. The next part of the interview would take place a day or two after I was due to start at the first place. Although I would prefer the second job the first one was guaranteed. I sat down and worked out all the pros and cons of both businesses and came to the conclusion I didn't really want to work but I do want a new bathroom and deck and taking the first job would get me those and even at a discount. So come Monday morning I will once again be in paid employment and reminding myself daily of my reason for working and once I can sit on my deck or relax in my new bathroom I will know it was worth it.
