so I have been offered a referral to a financial firm.

...this is interesting for a few reasons.

<ul>
<li>It'd be a vastly different commute. As it is, my time from leaving to getting to work is very short. This would involve a public transportation dance, which, honestly I kinda worry about. I'm scared to hell of getting lost, or something similar, and it's not as reliable. (what if a bus just doesn't show up?)</li>
<li>It'd be a vastly different job, too. It's supposedly "computer stuff and working with clients" (paraphrased, as I don't have my phone with me right now). Would I be part of their IT staff? Would I just be calling people? Some combination of the two?</li>
<li>Pay. If it's only a slight bump... why? I'd get more hours, most likely, but the extra money would be burned away on getting there (and probably food). For a large jump, however... I'd have to make the sacrifice. (other people won't be around forever, I've eventually gotta become entirely self-sufficient)</li>
<li>Time. With transportation taken into account... would I even have very much time anymore? Hell, I struggle with loneliness and frustration as it is over not being around for some people. This might make it even worse. (Hell, I'll admit to just giving up maintaining contact with people ahead of my timezone. Not that they did anything wrong, but... the lack of time just made conversations so much less fulfilling.)</li>
<li>I worry about being able to do it. I've proven myself at this job for a year now, or so I'd like to think...</li>
</ul>

It just feels like a whirlwind of change is hitting my life again. I understand that getting comfortable is a very bad thing, but I really at least want to get myself straightened out, and adaptable, if it makes sense.

We'll see where all of this goes.
