Decisions, decisions

Things are changing at work (again) and now I have a big decision to make in a few short days. I wish I could talk it over with Drew since he’s always been such a good sounding board and the decision will ultimately impact him. Of course since he’s currently in KAF that’s not likely.
The last time I made a big decision when he was away I ended up quitting my job without a safety net and floating around unemployed for a month. ‘Twas the first time I’d been unemployed since I graduated college and I’d no idea how hard it would be to be jobless – even if it was by choice. It was the longest month I my life and a hard road to walk down for a workaholic.
This decision won’t be as massive but I I make the wrong one there’s a chance I’ll end up in a similar boat. I’m most worried about what it means for me down the road. What if I say yes and never account for anything more in my life? What if I say no and end up an unemployed bum during a recession?
It’s going to be a long few days.

Just having gone through something similar last week, I can relate. I stayed safe this time by staying with my current role, but I said I would still like to pursue the other role when I finish rolling out the new procedures to our department. I wanted to do that to get more familiar with them before I start working with other offices. I’m good with my decision.
I look at the opportunities as a stepping stone to something better. I’ve taken steps backwards to learn something to get ahead later. And so far, so good.
Hope you make the right decision. When it comes to career choices, it is always tough. Best of luck!!
