WTF is going on?!?!

So I get a call from my old boss on Monday wanting to know if I wanted a job. Of course this couldn't have happened 6 weeks ago before I got a full time job...I am totally stressed out about this, but I really don't have reason to be.

I like my current job other than the not seeing the family 4 nights a week, but I get 3 days off and it's either 72 hours per 2 weeks or 84 hours per 2 weeks depending if I work Sundays...

The job at the old place is kind of piece mealed together. 1 week of graveyard per month, 5 days at another hospital per month (or more if my schedule allows it), then average of 1 day per week in mammography. It would work out to full time, but they can't guarantee it(they'll only put on paper 10 days a month, but they *promise* me the other days), and it would be working a variety of shifts. All of them 8 hour shifts, so I'd only get 2 days off per week, but MOST of the shifts would have me home in the evening.

I just don't know what to do. Everyone says stick with my current job due to the stability of full time, and having a regular schedule. I don't know if the normal schedule of being away from the family 4 days a week vs. a changing schedule that will have me home more in the evenings is better....

I told my old boss I'd call him tomorrow and tell him, but I still don't know what I'm going to do :(

Dang! How come stuff like that always happens? It looks like the shifts are the decision. That is so hard.

man. I don't know what to say. I know my choice would be more family time. I can hear how stressed you are. Good luck with your decision. Hugs to you.

Wow, Mary...When it rains, it pours, huh?

I wish I could give you some great advice, but I am sure you will figure it all out.
