I got an e-mail from Convergy's today asking me if I was still interested in a job as they have some openings now. (Funny thing is I don't remember ever sending a resume to Convergy's but whatever). For those who don't know Convergy's is a tech support call centre. This particular one is in New Glasgow. The job is providing support for Windows XP. So it'd be kind of like what I'm doing now.

I haven't really decided to take the job or not (well, take the interview. I imagine though that my working at Client Logic should pretty much cement my ability to get the job if I want it). There are some advantages to it. The pay is a bit less ($10.25/hour versus $11.30/hour) but my expenses would go way down (no rent/groceries/phone bill/etc) so I'd probably end up with more spending money. There would definitely be a social benefit as I'd there'd be people around for me to do stuff with and I'd also be able to get to Acadia with far less effort. And I'd get a 5 week break from taking calls while I went through training.

There are definitely some negatives as well though. For one I'd have to move back home which would mean a drastic reduction in freedom (with the nagging, dial up and being farther away from civilization). I like my family/home and I'd get to see my pets (a big plus) but there would defintely be some adjustment. The other, larger concern is that it would be another call centre job. I've said pretty much from the beginning that I wanted my current call centre gig to be my one and only call centre job and that I didn't want to end up bouncing around from call centre to call centre instead of finding a job I really want to do. I have been actively looking for non-call centre work (and have even applied a couple places) and I'm not overly excited about the idea of working at another call centre (not so much against the work itself but against the beginning of a pattern).

I'm not really sure if I'm gonna go for it or not. I've been really up and down about it today. Sometimes I'm thinking I definitely don't want it but then a few minutes later I find myself thinking it wouldn't be so bad. I pretty much have to let them know one way or another tomorrow so I'll have to do some serious thinking. (I'm sure he meant serious drinking).

I guess everyone was too busy watching Everyone Loves Hypnotoad to answer this one.
