i started working at a new job two weeks ago. I have been struggling BIG TIME to catch on. I “think” it is going well. At least they haven’t thrown me out. YET. BUT (here’s the BUTTTT):

the job is stationed in a basement. NO WINDOWS. NO LIGHT. NO ELEVATOR (this is also a huge struggle because I have severe arthritis in my back and knees AND there are days when I am in a lot of pain). There may be days where I have to climb the steps multiple times. And also. They put me at a counter (not even really a proper “desk”) even though there are TWO CUBICLES. all of the ladies I work with in the basement bring food in all day everyday and they put it on the counter like two feet from where I sit!! I struggle with an eating disorder and when I asked if there was another place it could be moved to, let’s just say that I wasn’t exactly popular. And the chicks I work with are the typical bitchy hens. Talking bad about other people. Making fun of patients (although THIS place isn’t NEARLY as bad as the last place). FYI. most places you call for medical care:  there is a 80% likelihood that you WILL be made fun of when the call ends. It is AWFUL. SO....I digress....

i was offered a temp to permanent job through a staffing company. It is for an established company that is opening a new location where I live. It pays about the same as what I am making now, which means a most likely pay raise when/IF hiring.  That is what I am unsure of. WHAT IF I leave this permanent position to go to this other job and THAT doesn’t work out???  the temp to perm job sounds like it would be a mundane ordinary job, which might be good. I wouldn’t have to deal with any humans. I am just so unsure what to do. I also think “well what if I turn down the temp to perm job and then THIS job doesn’t work out”!  I am so frazzled from having things not work out that I am afraid to do anything.  Any ideas??  Sorry for the long winded post!!!! Thank you all for your help!
