(+) out west - grand fucking canyon. I love the west.(+) front desk hotel work - not some schlupping type porter or custodial job; I have found that I love doing customer service work, and that I'm excellent at it (+) 'rent' is cheap - max $64/mo, depending on which dorm I end get(-) have to leave two jobs here in Raleigh that I love; one will be here for me whenever I come back; the other may or may not be (and I've only been there a week now)(-) slight pay cut(-) away from bf and cat and friendsIf I hadn't just gotten this other job, I would be giving a lot more consideration to taking this job.

8/28/2008 8:27:13 PM

didn't you graduate? what kind of career move is going to work at a hotel front desk?

why would you want to move away from your live-in bf and friends?if its just something you want to do, go do it for 6 months and come backare you just looking for a change of pace or what? this doesn't sound like something you want to do long term. are you just looking to shake things up then go back to raleigh?
8/28/2008 8:42:01 PM
do it
8/28/2008 8:44:05 PM
I know many people who have graduated and would kill for any kind of job that paid.
8/28/2008 8:44:18 PM
I guess I didn't make this clear: I've all but decided to not take the job, because of what I have here in Raleigh. It's still this crazy tempting option, though.I may email them back and say "I'll do this, but starting 9/22 isn't going to work. If you all want me come January, I'll happily stay til either May or August, but I applied quite some time ago, and in the meantime, I've taken a job that is on a semester-by-semester basis"It would be so kickass to be out there a lot though. Xanterra often lets their employees have a 4day workweek, knowing that many people take the jobs in order to pay for seeing that part of the country.
8/28/2008 8:44:53 PM
just go do it sometime. zorthage will be there even if you decide to stay 10 years
8/28/2008 8:48:12 PM
No, he'll be here.And just because he'd wait doesn't mean I'm willing to forfeit the time with him. It's not like I enjoy his company so much that I've become a homebody, or anything
8/28/2008 8:49:12 PM
does it matter if he is willing, lol if you`re really gonna get married to him, you might want to go do something like that for a little while, especially if you`re going to spend the rest of eternity together If i`d had an opportunity like that before i moved in and got married in retrospect i would have taken it
8/28/2008 9:00:01 PM
Fair enough.
8/28/2008 9:09:38 PM
plz to not take the job lol.
8/28/2008 9:09:55 PM

8/28/2008 9:11:42 PM
lol
8/28/2008 9:12:41 PM
If it's at the El Tovar ... take it ....
8/30/2008 1:29:41 PM
fuck that shit.
8/30/2008 1:31:23 PM
that job in GC will always be there I bet. Just tell them thanks but maybe later.
8/30/2008 1:33:17 PM
You should take the job if you are serious about seeing that area (by seeing I mean backcountry hiking, camping and kayak/canoeing). If you mean seeing the area in a tourist/commuter/traveler sense, you will want to blow your brains out after the first week. There is NOTHING within almost 50 miles of the Grand Canyon.

NC FTW!
8/30/2008 1:37:38 PM
Do it.I was very close to selling all my shit, quitting my job, and moving out west as recently as 6 months ago. Even though some stuff has worked out and things are going pretty well right now I still regret not doing it a little bit.
8/30/2008 1:37:41 PM
do it. I love being out west. its good for the soul.
