I found out today that the office I work in is relocating in October. 40 miles away. This may not sound like a problem, but it is. At the moment my office is 1.5miles away from where I live, takes me exactly 4 minutes to drive to work. Its ideal, its the main reason I gave in and agreed to get shadow, as I knew I could come home every lunch time to see her, and would be home no later than 5.04pm every day. (I finish at 5pm). Now that my office is moving, it will take me about 50 mins to get to work and I will not be able to come home lunch time. I have 3 options:
I used to travel 70 miles a day in my previous job, and with shadow home alone, I really dont see that as an option. She'd be on her own for 10 hrs a day, no way. I couldn't do that to a puppy. And driving for long periods of time hurts my neck (I was in a car accident last year).
I actually enjoy my job, and can actually see me making a career of it, going really far within the company, I have never felt this way about a job before, I've always felt like I was just another face in a massive corporation. This job is different, you're rewarded for being good at your job, the people I work with are great, and the money is good. So I would really prefer not to look for another job.
That only leaves option 3, which to me seems so drastic. What if Im wrong about this company, what if, we sell up, by a new house, and the company goes under? Or what if everything changes when we move?
I am really stressing out about this. If it was any of my previous jobs, I would have just said forget it, i'll find a new job, but I just have this gut feeling about this company, that It will make it, big time. I've only been with them for six months, and I just know its going to do well. ( its been open for about a year, and has tripled in size in that time).
Some body please help, I really dont know what to do, we've only been living on our current house for 11 months, do I really want to move again?
Man this sucks so much, I just cant decide.......I need help.
- Travel the extra 80 miles a day
- Find a new job
- Move closer to my new office
