What To Do?

Okay, so I have been having these big highs and lows at work.  One moment things are going great, the next moment my customer is making me want to tear my hair out with outrageous demands and false accusations.  I'm doing everything everyone wants me to do, and I'm still getting the runaround from my corporate office about getting hired on full-time with benefits. 

Monday night I was in a bad mood about work, so I updated my resume and searched for jobs.  I found one job as a recruiter working from home.  It paid well, and, you know, I could work from home!  So I decided to apply and send of my resume. Since the job posting was a few weeks old I thought to myself, "I'm sure these people have gotten hundreds of resumes from people who have been in this industry much longer than I have, I doubt I'd even get a call."  Well, I didn't get a call, I got an email this afternoon from a woman who wanted to schedule a phone interview!

Red flag #1 - I got the email around 1:30 this afternoon.  She asked me to choose 4 appointments from a list of days and times for the interview.  Two of the appointments I chose were for tomorrow morning.  I emailed her back about an hour later and gave her the times that were good for me.  It is now 7:30, and I still haven't heard back.  If I have to lie to my coworkers about needing to leave the office tomorrow, I really needed to know about this soon.  I made a preemptive lie around 3pm and told my coworker I may need to run to the doctor's in the morning, but the appointment wasn't confirmed yet.  So I've got an out if I need it.  But I shouldn't have to be wondering at 7:30pm if I'm going to have an interview at 9:30 in the morning though.  I'm finding this a little unprofessional.

I would like to have a job that pays better and has benefits.  But I like the job I have now and I love my coworkers - the support system I have in them I've never had before and I don't know if I ever will again.  And I don't have to learn how to do a new job.  And I honestly believe that I will get a raise and benefits, I just don't know when.  And I don't know if I would make as much even with the raise I would get by going full-time as I would with this new job.

You know, I shouldn't even be worrying about this now.  I don't even have a phone interview scheduled yet!
