Decision Made

The decision is made, at least in my head. I haven't made it known to the higher ups, but it's being posted on my blog, which officially makes it official.

I'm gonna leave Wal-Mart. Yeah, the 10% discount is nice, but I can't do that. I'll drive myself insane if I stay there. Or...at least...more so than normal. It's just too stressful. Besides, I'm not 100% sure how working a lot there would influence my chances of getting into see a psychiatrist, despite being already on the waiting list. (Yeah, I'm still waiting.)

It might mean less money for running away though, but, well, I just can't do that.

They've also scheduled me to work on the first Wednesday night back to choir! Nooooo! Dislike. I've also been scheduled for mostly evenings in the next few weeks, and that's just a pain in my ass. Yes, I wanted evenings but this is EVERY evening. Bah.

So, the decision is made. I'll finish up the scheduled shifts which will bring me to September 9th, I believe. Then, no more discounts!

Besides, it's kinda bad when you're told by everyone you mention it to (including your department manager) that it's better to leave if there's another job.

Decisions Decisions

Very soon, I need to come to a decision. Once September starts, I can join the substitute list, living the exciting life of going to a different classroom every day, or may not get to one at all right away. Either way, my 8-4s will need to be pretty open so that I can take a substitute job at a moments notice.

However, there may be times when I'll get no substitute work and I will need money. With free evenings and (half) weekends, I'll have that time to work. I won't be able to work Wednesday nights and Sundays due to choir and church. That leaves me Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday for working. Right now, I'm working two jobs. Either I'd work 2 days at one, 3 at the other, or I leave one.

So here's the big decision. Which one would I do? There are pros and cons to both. Let's look a them, shall we?

The Call Center - I make $11/hour, it would be just in the evenings and I like the people I work with. However, if there's downtime, I won't get work, making it unreliable.

Wal-mart - Reliable hours, I'll always have work and a 10% discount card. However, I make $10.15 an hour. As well, it's stressful, busy and I won't get off until 11pm. At the same time, I haven't been there as long, so maybe I haven't given it a long enough chance. I know it will get busier and more stressful as Christmas gets closer.

So, any thoughts? Attempt to do essentially three jobs, or drop one? And which one? Based on what you know, what would you do?
