Generally I'm not one to make changes too swiftly. I'm not at all resistant to change, it's just that I want most of my bases covered before leaping into a new venture.
Frankly, I was willing to leave the library for a job at Micky D's as long as it paid close to what I was already getting. But when REI showed an interest in me and made an attractive offer to work with them, I was ready to take it. At the point of this writing, I have the job pending a background check (nothing to hide).
Working for the library gave me a sense of pride. I was an advocate for literacy, an extension of outreach to the community. Now I'll be a representative for health, fitness and outdoor living. Something I've been advocating for most of my life, with a few years of sedentary living in between.
I'll still be working similar part-time hours as I've been doing with the library and I'll have a closer bike commute. So, we'll have to see how this works out. I won't have the freedom to find information online as I did with the library, I'll be dealing with the public in a recreational environment... a completely different clientle.
