Mr D,
I love you!!!! These posts of yours are so well written, straight from your heart, and your sentiments mean so much that they bought a tear to my eye, I love you!
Yes, extra money would be nice, BUT as we talked last night, its not everything AND if it means you'd resent work and the hassles, then dont go for it, but if they can offer you a rota that works for you and allows you to continue with the time on the plot and looking after me, well as we said last night, then go for it, but its YOUR decision, and I am behind you 1000%, no matter what you decide!
I know myself that I am fairly career orientated, not so much from an ego point of view, or even the money, but just from the fact of for my own sense of satisfaction at being able to do the best that I can in my job, I care far too much about my branch, my team, my store standards and our results, which as you know means I work too hard, work too many hours and get far too stressed out on times, but even so I enjoy my job, no matter how much I whinge about it! I would definitely be unhappy if I hadnt been given the opportunity to progress, as to be stuck in a position that you can do standing on your head with your eyes shut leaves you with limited job satisfaction and an inner turmoil at the fact that you are not utilising your abilities to the full, but thats just me, YOU are a different person, much more relaxed and confident in yourself than I am, and dont need to prove anything to anyone, so make the decision upon how you feel and what you want from life, not on others expectations or for financial rewards!
Oh, and did I mention I love you?
