i posted about passing on a job offer a few weeks ago. I didn't really pass on it, I accepted but told them that the work wasn't what i really wanted to do, and they decided to rescind the offer. same thing

jobs are so scarce, I definitely should have just said nothing and sign the contract. They would drop me any time they wanted, so I can leave any time I want too. i just couldn't commit to something i thought would make me miserable.

At the time I didn't think I could even tolerate the job. Got some space to think properly and I just don't think that's true any more. I can tolerate it fine. Work environment is fine, pay is fine, just the work wasnt what i wanted to focus on. These are all just tech white collar jobs anyways, what was i hesitating for. motherfucker

I've got some clarity now, i'll move on. sometimes i just hate myself

I still feel like its the right decision if you weren't really feeling it at the time. But if anything in the future you could just accept the job and stay on for a bit to see how it is. If you really don't like it then quit.

Just don't be too hard on yourselfmeow-hug

Yeah Ive got to stay level headed. It's not totally rational but right now it feels like I passed up the best chance I'll ever get at stability.

I think my worst attribute is just not talking to anyone. Every time I'm in a tough spot i just try to reason through by myself, and it usually works out.
