So my fiancée has had two job interviews for positions at chemical plants. One in a lovely rural area up in the foothills, and another on the south side of Atlanta.
I went with her to the one in the lovely rural area (Ft. Oglethorpe basically).
After that I was hoping she'd get that one, but of course, the smelly one near Atlanta got back to her rapid fire.
They called her up this morning and were like, "Hey we want you, and we want you to start next Wednesday!" She was just waking up when she got the call and got excited and agreed immediately before even telling me about it.
Now I've had to remind her that we need time to find a place to move to, so that neither of us have to do a 2 hour commute. And that's the tip of the iceberg. We've gotta go ahead and get a marriage license, so that her folks don't flip out when we move into together and disown her (or whatever they'd do, they're very traditional). I've gotta figure how best to handle my own job situation with the move. It all takes time. The smelly Atlanta place said the position starts on May 22nd, but they're eager beaver to have her, I guess.
So things are about to get awkward. I was able to get my fiancée to understand pretty quickly that she made a mistake by immediately agreeing to start in 5 days time. So she's gonna get back in touch with them to let them know, but I feel like there's some tension because I'm preventing her from getting her first job in her field right away. I feel like she's gonna be super upset if they tell her they're going with someone else who will start sooner.
But idk, I just want the move to go well, because it has to go well. Like if we just drop everything and immediately move into the first crappy place we can get, I could go jobless or go insane with a 2 hour commute indefinitely. Either way is bad.
If she could get the one near Oglethorpe we wouldn't even have to move right away, and that interview was just yesterday, and while I don't want her to sit on her hands waiting for a call that might never come, that place gave a way better impression than the smelly one.
I feel a bit of trepidation, because I know she's a hard worker, but she also doesn't do well with stressful personal interactions and such, and certain demands. I'm not sure about her holding down the job, whichever place she goes to, mainly because in the past she's only ever worked part time. I'd really hate to put everything on hold or quit my job to move, and then we get to a point where neither of us are working, and we're both just job hunting or some ***.
Why does life gotta be complicated?
