Now I went to an interview and got hired at a new place. Full time with benefits. Easy job. Weekends off, etc. Seems perfect, but when they showed me around, the job seemed so lonely. I would be working in a lab at my own little station. Minimal communication with others. Mostly standing there for 8 hours doing repetitive work by myself. The days are going to feel so long and empty.

I love action and working around people. That's why I love the restaurant I'm currently at. But I think I also got spoiled because I love everyone I work with and it doesn't even feel like work. Even one of the cooks said he plans on staying here until he dies. However, I do need more money so my girlfriend and I can move to a better place. (At least until my business grows, then I can do whatever I want.)

Do I take the job or stay where I'm at, and continue searching for something that's a better fit for me? Getting jobs where I live isn't the easiest task because I'm not in a major city.
