Very close to getting a new job.

I've been out of work since August. I've had a few interviews with a company for a full-time night shift manager position. I was originally told it was Sunday night to Friday morning, which would be a great schedule. They called this afternoon saying the only reservation they had hiring me was the fact I play in a band and that the shift will actually be Monday night to Saturday morning and they don't want me using my holidays a Friday at a time for gigs.

I told them not to worry as a career is more important than a hobby.

 

I (and my family) need this job, but I'll more than likely have to quit my band since we're booked all year at 2 bars for full weekends. I feel almost sick to my stomach right now. I'm excited at the prospect of finally having meaningful employment again, but I may have to give up my band to do it.

maybe once you get this job and things settle down you can find a new band that suits your schedule and fits in with family & work?

Best of luck to you. I'll have been out a year this Friday, with only about 3 months of temp work in that time. All told, since I lost a 9-year position in April 2006, I've worked maybe 12 months.

 

 

Do what it takes to get and keep that job.

Oh, I will. As I am, you are mighty aware of just how {censored}ty the economy is right now. Hell, a company I almost took a job offer with last October, just

shut it's doors a couple weeks ago.

 

I need to work, but I love playing in my band.
