Decision made
Well although I have officially received a job offer, I think I will turn it down. The offer was for just a little bit more money than I am making now, however my commute would more than double and I would therefore spend the difference on gas. The biggest downside was one official week of paid time off. I am a firm believer in time off, and although there are things to be desired at my current job, I have paid my dues and will be collecting three weeks vacation next year, in addition to the remaining week I have for this year. Which means that in the time I would earn one week off at the "new job", I would have a little over 3 earned in the same time span staying here. So while that may not be thinking of my extreme distaste for sitting in a cubicle, I have to play the numbers. So I may still spend yet more time sitting in a cubicle in the future, but I will also have the time to get away from work in general. Also the "new job" would offer 6 holidays, as opposed to the 10 I get now. And a "minimum" 40 hour work week as opposed to my now "maybe close to 40 hour week." So sorry potential "new job", you didn't offer enough incentive to make me move.
