An offer has approached me at Meijer. A longing for the past itches at the back of my head. The end is near, but I can enjoy my final days living it up, so to speak.
What do I do?
I love my job in Grocery at Meijer. The people are fantastic, the pacing quick, the challenges constant - it's a job that keeps me on my toes. There are downsides, of course - a lot of responsibility is left on my shoulders everyday, and I do get behind in tasks quite a bit, and I get in trouble for them.
So why does a chance to jump back into the Systems Department worry me so much?
In all honesty, I would love to go back to Systems. There are many positive reasons:
I can work later shifts (8a or 10a), which means I can have my nights back
The work is less stressful (FAR more relaxed than Grocery)
I get my own office again
I get the hours I want/need - 4 days a week, 32 hours; rather than the 5 days a week, 28ish hours in Grocery
All of the above should instantly make me want the Systems job... so why am I not jumping for joy? There's something about my routine now that keeps me locked in Grocery: whether it's my mornings driving my girlfriend to work or the peace and calm of the morning shift, I just can't commit to changing departments. Graduation is just a few months away, and I believe that I can get through May without going insane in Grocery, and sticking to my routine is a good option for now.
But then again, I could also enjoy the remainder of my semester: I could have a night life again, have an extra day off of work for school, and in general, try to leave college without the added stress of Meijer on my shoulders.
Oh my, what to do...
