As I have mentioned in my previous posting, I have just recently returned from a semester spent in Prague, Czech Republic. Before I left, I had many different types of jobs, I worked as a waitress, model, promotional model, coat check girl, etc. After being away for four months, I have come back to realize that I have no jobs and am quickly running out of savings that have been plummeted by my trip abroad. I have not taken money from my parents since I have been 14 years old so that is not even an option; usually I pay the maintenance and cable bills for my mom when I have an income.Recently, an acquaintance of mine has opened a night club in Brooklyn. My friend is head waitress there, and my best friend also works there. I have also been offered a waitress job there, and I already trained on Sunday. Now the problem is my boyfriend. He really does not want me to work there because he thinks being a waitress at a night club is degrading. I do not agree, to me it is an easy way to make a few bucks, and it won't get in the way of school or an internship. My issue now is how do I get the best of both worlds. I feel this is the right thing for right now. What worries me most is that I am already scheduled to work this Wednesday and Friday, and my boyfriend has already told me to cancel but I have not. How do I manage my boyfriend and this job to work out fine, without any screaming fits or ultimatums??
It hard to make a decision especially if other people or situation are involved in the decision making process. On one hand, you are already trained and put on the schedule. On the other hand, you wanna stay on good terms with your boyfriend and finally, you need cash in your pocket.Nobody can tell you what to do, it's you and only you who can decide, but i can give you a tool. how about wheiting the current situation( without this job)and the lost opportunity ( job at the night club) or the opportunity to find another job. Also, discussing the concepts of trust, hard work and dedication may help
ReplyDeleteSince today is Wednesday I had to make a decision quick. I ended up telling my friend that I cannot work because I am not willing to lose a 4 year relationship over some job- especially a job that can never turn into a career! I think I made the right decision because the girl that took my shift for today left at 10pm, not even one person showed up. Things like that just make me feel better about the situation.
