Discopants and Haircuts

‘Tis No Man, Tis a remorseless eatin’ machine”

I am finding that, the more it is dark and the colder it gets, I want to eat all the time. I really have no special craving other than burritos. I don’t like junk food, never have. I don’t feel like any kind of cookies or cake, chips or dips, chains or whips.. (well, didn’t that just roll out)

I just found out that I will not be keeping my current job after Christmas vacation is over. That sucks.. The good news is I have been offered another job in the building next door. The word is if all goes well, which it will, I will be a full time permanent teacher next year… I just have to get through this one.

The thing is… it is part time. It pays well but I won’t be working so much. Currently I work 15 hours a week and bring in about $3,000 a month. I am working 70% of full time… The new job is 35% so it will be half.. The government will possibly ‘take up the slack’ and pay me the rest to be at a full 100% which would be nice. It’s a one time deal they do here for people who are qualified to work at a job but the employer cannot afford the laborer in their budget. The labor dept. will take up the slack for up to a year. The good part is I will get a full-time 100% job next year and many after that..

The third choice is I refuse the job in January, because it is less than I make now, of 35%, and get unemployment for the salary I make currently… for up to one year…

So what would you do?
