Smart Cookie

I was told I am smart as a cookie today. That's nice to know. I went in to work to talk to Banana and BB, they had something to ask me. BB asks if I would like to be a part time SAR. I don't know what that stands for, I will find out. But basically I would be a book keeper. Payroll, bills, all that yucky stuff. I wouldn't do it just for the truck stop, its for the two restaurants, the store, and the fuel. I would be handling money for all of it! Although I don't know exactly what it is that these SAR people do, I do know that they are always stressed out. Whenever I see them, they look worn out. They fix our mistakes, when we cant fix them. They find the missing money, that we aren't sure where it went. This is what I would be doing. I would be handling more money then I could even dream of having right now in my life. More then I have ever had saved up, more then I have ever held. Along with the new stress and responsibilities I would get a hefty pay raise. Which would be nice. The best part is that the raise I get to be a SAR would transfer over to my cashier schedule, so I would be getting a HUGE raise in that sense. Having this book keeper background on a resume would look great! Any job anywhere else where I deal with a lot of money would appreciate seeing me

So why am I having such a hard time deciding? This is why. I got a job at the truck stop out of pure desperation. I was running out of money and they were hiring. I HATED my job there. I think everyday my poor mom had to deal with me crying, I couldn't stand it. The truckers were so mean, this wasn't a job for me. But shortly I learned to love it, I realized the people there were really there for me. However it is still a transitional job. Its only purpose is to help pay my bills as I struggle my way through college. In no way was I looking to be promoted through the company, or anything like that. Yet here I am being faced with this "promotion". Will this stress have effect on my school? Will this stress be worth it? The money and the experience that I can document on resumes will be great. But at what cost is it worth?

In my stress class one day we were talking about something. And he said but is it worth it to me? I said well its not worth it to me, I am worth a million dollars! He looked at me and said oh yeah? Well I'm priceless. I know its strange to look back on that, but my saying I am worth a million dollars, not seeing it and saying it off the bat that I am priceless, could this mean something?
