job interview

Well the interview went pretty well. Sounds like a great job for me, if the money were better (but he says he gives merit raises - which could work in my favor) if the hours weren't so crappy, and it weren't so freakly far away from home. Subsidized health care for the kids is a great thing, but if you have to travel 45 minute to get them there, and they stress themselves out horribly ..arrrgh. I don't know what to do. Maybe they won't even offer me the job and I won't have to worry about it. But I do have to worry about it, cause if they offer me the job, I really should give them an answer right away.

I have come to the conclusion that one of my co-workers doesn't like me. Its subtle. Ive thought it before, but now I am certain. There is a new restaurant opening up next door to where we work. They gave us all a free entree on tuesday night to try the place. (it was VERY good) So my boss who had the day off was going to come down after work and go out with the girls in the office (cause they got the coupons on the day I had off - so they knew about it, I didn't) My boss told me about it as I was leaving one day. Well that morning, this particular co-worker I'll call T started talking about the free meal with me, and asking if I was going to go after work. (not later as the plans were with the boss) I said I was probably going to go with my hubby, and she asked if he was going to come up early, or if I was going to wait for him. the push really was - as I saw it - for me to get in and out of there before everyone else showed up.

But this is ok, cause I don't really like her either. I think Im going to tell my boss about this particular incident, and a few little other things that have been bugging me, and then drop the entire matter, and never complain about her again. What bugs me most about T is that she is the boss' back up, so she is slightly higher up on the food chain than I am, but she spends most of her time doing work that has nothing to do with our office. She spent two hours doing someone else's job entirely. Her reasoning is that he can't do his job right. My thoughts on that is let him do his job wrong so we can get rid of him and get someone who can do the job right.. if she's carrying him, it only benefits him doesn't it?

Oh well. Morons about, and I just have to live with it. or do I? I could just take the other job and possibly live with a whole new set of morons.. Decisions decisions..
