MAN. You know when you have a job, and you have interviews for other jobs, but you’re not telling this to anyone at your job for obvious reasons? Does anybody else feel like they’re being unfaithful when this happens? Because I sort of got offered a job that I started this week, and I’m signing the paperwork and what have you for Friday, but I had an interview yesterday for another job, and another tomorrow, and then another next Thursday, and I feel more than a little sheepish that I might bail out of this place less than 2 weeks after I started there, potentially. And I mean, notice period’s supposed to be 4 weeks, but if I’ve literally been there under a month, can they really enforce it? Because GOODNESS KNOWS I AM NOT STAYING IN A PART-TIME £11,000 A YEAR JOB IF SOMEBODY OFFERS ME FULL-TIME AND £24,000. Because I’m skint. And I could really use, you know, an actual income, so I can, you know, stay alive. But still. It’s going to be a ballache to have to recruit/train another person at such short notice, so I feel like a dick for not calling off my job search. But dammit, a girl’s gotta eat.

And drink tea. Caffeine-free, because I’m still getting over plague, and soothingly orangey and honey and sweet and cozy. What a good tea.

It is hard to know what to do… I don’t think you have been there long enough to have a great deal of responsibility for giving notice. Go with the better job.

Darn right I do! Now here’s hoping I didn’t totally bomb the interviews…
