Faced with two pickles.

I’ve been offered a job at an Italian restaurant, for the summer, for National Minimum Wage (about a fiver) an hour, 20 hours a week. But the 20 hours is up in the air, it’s just cover work over the summer. It’s a half hour walk from my house, and it’s a small family run business.

However, I’ve been offered a trial shift for a job that pays £6.35 for a guaranteed 35 hours per week at M&S in a large shopping centre a half hour bus away. 

I feel awful letting this Italian restaurant guy down but I need the freakin’ hours, and I have a bad feeling about this job. I don’t like working for independent restaurants. In my experience, they fuck you over. Plus, working for a large chain means I may be able to get an M&S job back at uni.

Ahjrtkjkdfld!

Pickle number two: We have the contracts for a flat in Penryn. Waiting to send them back to the landlord. However, we just found a house in Falmouth for the same price. Further from uni yet closer to town. And it’s a house. Very big and lovely, with a garden.

What do we do what do we do what do we do JDFLJDKF DECISIONS. Both of which involve letting someone down/breaking a verbal deal for the sake of a better option.

SELFISH TIME.
