We've had a house guest over here that has taken up all of my time and has left me exhausted after 7 days of touristy activities. And even though I've been back in Taipei for 9 days, I feel like I was never really here. My 9 days have revolved around other people and I have barely had a single moment to get shit done in my personal life. Thank you emails have gone unwritten, the house is a complete mess, I haven't finished unpacking, and everything feels chaotic right now. In a nutshell, I'm frustrated, stresed, angry, confused, and feeling like way too much has piled up on my plate in a very small amount of time.
And to add to my stress and confusion, I was offered a job in Shanghai a few days ago. It's a job that I'm not sure I want. It's a job that would have me moving back there in no time. It's a job that may or may not be a good fit for me professionally. And it's a job that is causing me to make decisions that I have been avoiding for quite some time. I'm lost, and tired, and confused.
On one hand, finding a job was the ultimate goal. On the other hand, I'm not sure it's this job will the right decision for me at this moment. But I fear that if I don't take it that this job hunt could go on for quite some time. And I'm not sure I can handle that kind of pressure, and stress, and rejection for too much longer.
Tough decisions are up ahead. I'm not a happy girl at the moment.
Looks like you have so many decisions to make right now. I want to say congrats on the job offer regardless of whether you take it or not. You received a job offer in CHINA! Please keep us posted on what you decide to do!
