>Work in a restaurant>Love the job, love the people I work with>Great hours, we close at 2 PM>Get paid to walk, lift heavy, and hang out with my coworkers>Out of a staff of 20+ people, I'm #4 in seniorityHowever:>I only work 25 hours/week and that's all I'm needed for>I work pretty much every weekend>No benefitsNow I went to an interview and got hired at a new place. Full time with benefits. Easy job. Weekends off, etc. Seems perfect, but when they showed me around, the job seemed so lonely. I would be working in a lab at my own little station. Minimal communication with others. Mostly standing there for 8 hours doing repetitive work by myself. The days are going to feel so long and empty.I love action and working around people. That's why I love the restaurant I'm currently at. But I think I also got spoiled because I love everyone I work with and it doesn't even feel like work. Even one of the cooks said he plans on staying here until he dies. However, I do need more money so my girlfriend and I can move to a better place. (At least until my business grows, then I can do whatever I want.)Do I take the job or stay where I'm at, and continue searching for something that's a better fit for me? Getting jobs where I live isn't the easiest task because I'm not in a major city.
A job is not a holiday. We all have to grow up sometime. Time to put on your big boy pants and take your new job.

>>32567936Could you swing taking the new job but still getting a few hours here and there at the restaurant, to blow off some steam for old time sake? It is a nice dilemma you have.
>>32568541I would be working Monday-Friday, with the occasional Saturday, at my new job. The only day I would be able to work at my old job is Sunday, but then I would be working 6 or even 7 day weeks.
>>32568633I guess you can go for the sit down. They would let you back if things did not work out, I hope.
