Ooh-er, how did that happen?

Unexpectedly, today I found myself applying for another job. I hadn't intended to, I'd just sent off for the job description because I was curious, but when I actually read it, I kept thinking 'that's me' and how perfect it was. And it's more money, which is always nice.

The only downside is, if I get it, the job is in Coventry. Which means I'll have to move house because it's a hundred mile round trip from where I'm living now and I can't be doing with that every day.

Ooh-er. It feels a bit like "we've gone on holiday by mistake!". :P

More money's always good. Is the job in a good area and are their neighborhoods near there you'd want to move to?

I'm keeping an eye on the job market here since I think this place is going to take a swift spin down the toilet soon. The problem is that where I live now, there aren't a lot of jobs in what I like to do. I'd have to move. I can't move yet because I'm the daughter that keeps an eye on mom, and she's not ready to move yet. She knows she may have to in a few years, but she doesn't know where she'd want to move to, she doesn't want to leave me alone and her boyfriend is down here. :)

That plus the fact I've only been in this house a little less than 2 years. I like my little house.

The job is a good one, the employer has a much better reputation than my current employer, so really the location is a secondary issue.

I already did the moving-150-miles-from-my-family thing, so I doubt that shifting 50 miles closer to London will really make that much difference to me.

Good Luck!

Well, the bullshit-heavy application form has gone off, so now we wait to see if I'm shortlisted and we'll take it from there... ;)
