look at me, way up high

I am so confused, so very confused. The deeper I get into this job, the more I wonder if it's right for me. First of all, I hate my location. I don't like the suburbs, I loathe the red necks and humidity. This company is investing in me so that I can teach for them, and I just keep thinking about how badly I want to flee this area. 

There is also a schedule issue. They want 12 noon until 10, sometimes 11 pm every night, and you are not getting paid for a lot of that time. They want weekends, unpaid. I guess they figure this should be a labor of love, and in a lot of ways I'm willing to commit, but not memorial day weekend, no way. I want Angi time, too. I want see the world and visit home time. I want just a little control of my schedule.  

I keep telling myself I need to stick with this, even if for only a year and see what happens. But what will I do if I've invested all this time into it only to discover that I want out?? Then what? I've wasted this opportunity. 

Maybe in a year they will open a location in Austin, or Dallas. Think happy thoughts. I suppose by then I will have acquired a skill and can switch companies if I need to relocate. Happy happy thoughts.
