But this new post is about what is happening in my life, in the moment! Against all odds, Husband and I ended up back in Las Vegas. Strangely enough, it's not as bad as I thought it would be. Life isn't easy (living in the spare bedroom of your sister-in-laws house never is), but we're surviving. And Vegas is a whole hell of a lot cheaper than Southern California. So the goal is to stick it out until we can move somewhere we want or (gulp) maybe stay in Vegas. I of course would rather not stick it out in Sin City, but it does have its appeal. (Don't tell Twixter One. She'll come murder me out here)
The meat of the problem of my life is work. I have a pretty decent chance of working for an internet service provider out here, doing "retention." AKA, "misery." Well...ok...not "misery" but angry customers who want to cancel their service, I have to convince them to keep it and possibly spend more money. The only major positives to this job is it pays AMAZINGLY well and is consistently 40 hours a week. As in the debt I have will be totally paid off in probably 6 months tops with Husband and I working. Which is a huge goal of ours for this next year.
My other potential job is at a super fun restaurant as a hostess. Although I've only had 1 interview out of 3, so we'll see how that goes. The flaw with the restaurant is the hours aren't set. I could have anywhere from 20 to 35 hours. But I know my life would be significantly happier there. But less money equals stress elsewhere than the workplace.
So now, here I potentially stand at a Twixter moment. Do I choose the fun, less stable job or be the adult and choose the job I don't want for the bigger picture? The retention job makes me cringe internally/possibly punch something every time I think about it. But then my mind wanders to the idea of being debt free, and having the ability to buy a computer that doesn't overheat after an hour, or jeans without holes in them or an apartment.

That's all. Thanks and it's good to be back. I plan on writing in here a lot more. Seeing as I'm unemployed at the moment, it really helps inspire blog posts.
