EEK!! Decision looming!! November 24, 2005
I’ve received a call. I have a couple of choices.
I can either jump or wait (ie. apply for a role) to see if I get pushed. One is the responsible thing to do. The other is a very attractive option. And I can’t choose either of them at this minute.
While I’d like to lob a bomb into the middle of my life and see what happens, it’s neither fair nor reasonable to do so without consultation. If I were single & childless it would be a no-brainer, but I’m not, so it isn’t.
If I jump everything will change. It could be just what I need. Then again, it might not be.
If I wait and don’t get pushed things won’t be the same anyway. There’s probably a lot of hassle ahead and I don’t know how ready I am to take part in that.
If I wait and do get pushed it will be the same as if I jump, just not entirely of my choosing.
That is a tough one. Last time I did something like that, there was only me to think about.
Sounds like you will need to do a fair bit of number crunching and discussion before you make a decision. I hope you have enough time to make the right decision.
The roles will be advertised tomorrow and the applications will close next Friday, so I will have a week.
