money... happiness... does it have to be either or?
I've got 2 job offers on the table... both unsolicited...The job I have currently is the kind where no one knows exactly what I do for a living... but I work for some highly respected people, and because of that, by association, I'm treated well wherever I go. I make good money, but earn it... I deal with crazy requests and end up doing things no one would believe if I told them. I also fear that any day I'll be fired for forgetting to turn off the coffee maker or making sure we have enough diet soda on hand.
If I could safely blog about my employers... I'm positive I would have one of those popular blogs that might actually make a few dollars off of AdSense!
One of the jobs is a city/political job... I have a feeling it will be a LOT of work, with the public, meetings, other politicians, paperwork, and... well... it will just be not as lush as my current job. I'll make about the same amount of money, and feel more secure there... I won't be the ONLY one in my position so I'll have a network to help when things get busy.
The 2nd job is something I'm familiar with... I'll still work with the public, it's a very casual atmosphere... I'll never have the contacts I have now, and if anything, people will think less of me. I'll have time to mess around on the internet during the day... but will get paid significantly less. The two best advantages to this job is I'll be able to wear whatever I want to work and only work 2 minutes from my house.
I seriously do not know what to do at this point... I love my job somedays... and hate it others... I've always explained my job like Forest Gump's mom explained life... very much like a box of chocolates... I never know from hour to hour what I'm going to get...
All I know... is where I work now... if I wasn't afraid of losing the job constantly... I'd absolulty love it... I get great perks and have a good time about 75% of the time... the other 25% isn't bad... it's just usually stressful...
So what's a girl to do.... a job with a 25% stress level is pretty low, all things considered... I guess I know that if I ever do get fired... I've got other options... right?

I tend to think that if this job is less stress with great perks... stick with it. Like you said there are other options out there.
The job paying less... eh... it might be comfy for a little while but the cash flow situation might not be good... ya know?
Uhm, can I have a job, please? How come you get two UNSOLICITED ones and I have none? IT ISN'T FAIR!
Oh wait. I'm not looking for a job right now. I don't WANT a job right now. I am enjoying doing nothing but sitting on my ass on unemployment. hehe
I don't know what to tell you. Is there a way that you can talk to your current employer about your feelings that you're always on the verge of getting fired and have them reassure you that you are not?
I could find a job that I make more money at and have less of a commute but I'm so comfortable here and have a lot of time off.
I say don't worry about being fired. I am a true believer of creating your own destiny, if you envision craptastic things happening, then they will! 25% of the time you don't like your job, but the rest of the time you love it, I say love it while you got it and the universe will send you off on your way when it is time!
