need some support

mlhowe07 · June 2009

Ok, so I finally have a real job interview over the phone today at 3:30. It's for a position that I have never done before & am not sure I will like. It also involves some call time. It would be 4 10 hour shifts/week & the start times vary between 6-7:30 am. There are also some late days (7pm-9pm) that I may potentially have to stay or come in for-I will be getting more details on this.

I never thought I would feel the way I do. I am making myself sick thinking about A being in daycare or with a DCP for possibly very long days. I obviously can't go with a center because of the hours I will need so I have to find an in home person. I know she will be ok. But I don't know if I will. I haven't even been offered the job & I am freaking out about it.I feel like I could throw up. If it was a job I know I would like, I don't think I would feel this way.

I just really needed to vent.

Thanks for listening

I would be feeling the exact same way. I hope it works out for you. Maybe you are just not meant to have this job and a perfect opportunity is just around the corner. (HUGS)

The good thing is, if you dont like it you can leave.

I hate leaving Noah with the sitters but I know that he is safe and well taken care of so I try to focus on that. Dont worry, you can do it!!

I completely agree. It doesn't really sound like this job is for you and I hope that a perfect opportunity comes along soon.

Ditto Sallie. I think that you would feel more ok with DD going to a DCP if this job wasn't so intimidating (hours wise).

I wouldn't feel comfortable with that either if I'm being honest

I'm sorry. I would just pray about it.

Thanks guys!! You are right, I don't want this job, it's not a good fit. However, it is 1 of 2 jobs out of 22 that I have even gotten a call about & the other job is not a benefitted position. I know I would like the other job because it is in the recovery room & that is where I used to work.

I am praying the job that I really want is going to work out! But I have not been contacted at all about that one.

I know exactly how you feel ... I work 4, 10 hour shifts and sometimes Jack is with his DCP for 10+ hours a day. I just feel lucky that he likes being there so much ... but it was pretty hard at first. ((hugs!))

I think I could handle the 4x10. At least that is 3 days off. My problem would be the late nights/call ins/inconsistent schedule.

I felt sick to my stomach and cried the whole way to work, but then Tuesday it was much easier and SIL sends me texts/pics all day to update me on ike. I actually like going in to work now! It's a few hours a day that i know ike is happy and i get to be myself ) It doesn't seem like the same situation you are in, but maybe you will find a schedule that works for you? GL and hugs )
