At one of the commercial stations where I enjoyed working, the full-time overnight shift was open. Although I would have liked to have done that shift, it didn't pay enough for me to live. Thus, I thought it pragmatic to stay with my current full-time job and continue working part-time at the radio station. I wrote to a friend about my dilemma. She replied, "For your sake, I hope you're offered the full-time radio job. Then, you can have the closure of turning it down. You have an interesting way of looking at the world, you know that?"
Yes, I knew. The program director did offer me the full-time job, and I turned it down. That was considerate of him--and predictable of me.
