Bad reference letter - advice needed

[Lucienne]

So, I promised I was going to let you know what I decided. I've spent the last few days considering pros and cons and I think I'm going to take the easier job in the city.

Now, before you start saying I'm taking the easy way out, here is my reasoning:
The sole reason why I switched careers, started working in a restaurant and took sommelier classes was my health (I had pulmonary embolism, I have a blood condition that makes it clot, thus i need to either move a ton or medicate). I wanted to give myself a long lasting career where I can move a lot for as long as I can, and at the same time something I can work with when I no longer can run around like mad.

I pictured what I'd be doing ten years from now, if all went well. If I took the hard job, I'd be as far as I could get without jeopardizing my health from the start, once I learned what to do there would be absolutely nowhere I could develop. I'd be working with things I enjoy, but even that gets old when you do the same things day after day and see no end to it. I could switch restaurants, but that would be about it. If I take the easier job, I can advance slowly, while working at a place I really like and if I don't like, it's still a nice merit and it will make it easier for me to seek other jobs. In ten years I could be working with the same tasks the hard job offers, without having to move or stress or be bored after couple of years.

Btw, I rewrote the reference letter and e-mailed it to my boss. I wrote that the numbers in my birthday got mixed up and that while I was at it I took the liberty to change the pronouns as well. I thought it was a pretty polite way to say it was horrible and I needed a new one. It doesn't take a minute to print it out and sign it. My boss has been at work two days. I'm still waiting.

sorry luci, couldn't resist

Haha! Yeah, I can't really make a career sadly. It's either that or warfarin and fuck the rat poison, seriously.

Silly swede, think like an American. You're hot, just go marry a rich dude and chill.

[Lucienne]

You sound just like my father!

And if you can't do your job, just ask the BG tech forums and they will do everything for you while you still collect.

Not really i quit the job since i couldn't do it (honestly)



Except for in your case and the FF14 forums it went the complete opposite and you lost the job.

Once again I didn't lost it i demanded Son to remove me from the pos due to complains (but yeah if i didn't over time they would've removed me anyway just went faster

Thanks for the update Luci - I think that opportunity for long-term growth is a very good reason to choose which offer to take. Congratulations, and my best to you there!

Thanks. I really feel I made the right decision. I kept looking at it from the perspective of a possible failure and fear, twisting it around really made me realize it wasn't the ultimate option after all.

I had warfarin pills and klexan injections, because my warfarin levels were too low for over a month, I had troubles with the doses. They didn't really offer me anything else at that time, and both of those were extremely horrible. I was bruised and looked like a junkie, I couldn't travel freely, drink alcohol, eat lettuce and I was bleeding randomly. I sincerely hope that when I'm too old to move there will be other options out there.
