My thoughts are many and various.
Can I do the job? Physically, I'm sure I'll be alright. There would be a period of "work hardening" but I would get through it. But how will I handle it mentally? It has been a decade since I was in a 9-5 grind. Will I be able to focus on mundane shit and do a good job?
Will I be extremely depressed?
Then again, will I be alright physically? I am pushing 50 and it is a physical job and, though I keep in some kind of shape, there is no question I have grown softer over the last 10 years. Will my back spazz out and that's it?
What about all my non-new-job stuff? How will that all fit together? I will still be betting and my intention would be to continue my spreadsheet work which is somewhat extensive. I also have a girlfriend. I have plans for a big musical project. I have volunteer work which I like to do. I like to follow movies and some TV shows. I have a forum I like to visit. How do people live their lives with only a few spare hours each M-F evening?
The part-time job approach really does make more sense.
We'll see.
Lots of positives too. The Fedex job pays well and to have that as well as gambling income would lift me out of the financial doldrums I have been in for the last while pretty fast.
Benefits would be a awfully nice thing to have. I have dental issues. I have prescriptions. My eye care needs could use some upgrading. Fedex has good benefits.
Having a conventional job would be good in other ways. Even though I have a very good credit rating, I was unable to get a car loan from the bank a year ago. I had to just buy my car outright in cash. Jenny and I have talked about maybe getting a house at some point. It would be good to be mortgagable.
Many factors. It's complicated.
