My bubble has been burst.

Just moments after writing the previous post, my mom called.
My mom is also my human calculator, and my completely objective voice...most of the time.

So I run the new job thing by her.
We talk about the hours...the pay raise...the whole deal...

Her little calculator brain gets to going...and then she informs me that financially, I'll do better to stay where I am.

Because I have more hours. I have the potential to work more hours. And I also have the potential to get a raise...one day...hopefully. *sad, dramatic, sigh*

And I don't have any of that wiggle room if I leave and go somewhere completely new.

Oh and also, that I have a new rent bill I have to start paying in less than a month.
And the new job can't support me.

I love my mom.
