New job...new insurance???

My dream job has become available...this week. I scraped together a decent resume (I love where I am so I haven't even bothered to keep it up) and went to an interview this week. Several issues reared their ugly little heads. :eek:

 

First, my suit didn't fit. :car: I don't know that it would have even before I gained the 5# to get a "better" BMI but the reality was it did.not.fit comfortably enough to interview in. So I settled on a navy, jersey material dress with a little jacket. I like loose and comfy so this made me feel at ease at least. :biggrin:

 

Second, their insurance is 1) expensive (apparently beyond reason) and 2) it isn't what I have now. I WANT this surgery but this could be an issue...not to mention getting time off for the Disney trip and then surgery 4 months later! :biggrin3:

 

I sent the requisite thank yous and an email thank you. To be honest there was a little issue with my lack of supervisory experience :wub: which isn't for lack of ability but when you work in an 11 member office, it's more the lack of opportunity. :party: I still don't know what to do. Yes...DREAM job. It's what I do now (more or less) but in a Jewish agency which is what my career goal is...I want my Jewish holidays...ohyouhavenoidea!!! :thumbup: But I also don't know if it will fit into my life plans because lets not forget Mr. Wonderful is also looking for a new heart and lungs too. Isn't this all a bitch? :scared2: Of course it is. It wouldn't be happening to me if it wasn't! :wub:

Disney trip? Whoo Hoo! OK, that has to be written into the employment contract! Seriously, you can't miss out on Mickey! OK, now to read the rest...Oh man, big decisions...sounds perfect...I'm sure they'll be calling soon...good luck (to Mr.W too). L'Chayim! To life?...sorry if I got it wrong...I was taught by the nuns ;-)
