Sorry I haven't written much since I got a job. It just hasn't been appealing. It doesn't seem so important lately. But anyway, here I am. This is going to be a boring post about work hours and staffing needs, just letting you know.

Regarding the other job at Swedish hospital; It possesses many advantages but aslo some risks. If I didn't already have a job, I'd definitely grab it but I now have a job that's pretty much equivalent so I'd be risking giving up a good thing for an unknown thing.

The advantages of the Swedish job include the shift; 7 days on, 7 days off. That means every week I'd get a week off. That also means it would be easy to take a 3 week vacation simply by missing one week of work. In my current job, in order to take a 3 week vacation I'd need to miss 3 weeks of work.

The disadvantage of the Swedish job is that it's only 56 hours per pay period, or 28 hours a week. That's not enough money for me. So I'd need to pick up extra shifts. According to the manager this is highly likely but not gauranteed since there's no predicting what the staffing needs will be. I could possibly find an every-other-weekend job for some additional hours but that would be a challenge.
