Sometimes, I'm able to stay home late on a weekday. It is such a treat. And I wish I could do this much more often than I can do right now. Yet, as long as I have this job, I intend to be a responsible employee for as long as possible.
Today, I did a Zoom interview for another civil service job. However, if it is offered to me, I will be at risk of losing this job from the minute I accept it. If you look closely at the warning I received, I can lose the position if either of the following two conditions are met: (1) that the person who previously held the position wants it back, or (2) that upon re-canvassing for the position, someone higher on the civil service list wants this position. Normally, I wouldn't take such a risky position. But a trusted friend said that I should go for it, as my current job is mind numbing.
Life is all about taking risks. Right now, I can afford to take this risk. But do I really want to do so? The population served by this position can be troublesome. Do I need the headaches?
