Another Interview

I have another job interview for Wednesday morning. This one's for the Lowes distribution center out on Route 20, but I'm not quite sure if I'm really all that interested. It's a unique situation that I'll really have to think about. All my speculation is assuming, of course, that I'm offered a job. The starting pay is abhorrent, $11.00 an hour, and it's a weekend shift. Sounds terrible, right? Well, it may be a crappy schedule, but it would allow Steph and I to completely take day care out of the equation. At $200 a week, the daycare plus family health care from NIU would nearly zero out any benefit we would have by keeping Steph working. If I take this job, we wouldn't need a day care provider, I'de be off Monday through Thursday, so our combined income would be much more comfortable than if only one of us were working. Add to that potential advancement at Lowes, and it could turn out to be a pretty good situation. That being said, going from $20/hr to $11/hr is a pretty intimidating drop.

I've also sent my resume to Warner Electric in South Beloit, and there are two other places in Rockford I'm interested in. This is by no means a done deal, but it's a very interesting situation, and I'm sure it will end up to be a very difficult decision. Meh.
