April 17, 2007 2:52pm CST
First let me say that I love my wife very much and she really is much more than I deserve. ( Just in case she reads this LOL ) But sometimes I just don't understand the way she makes decisions. Today she went to a local temp service for a job. Well she went for one and came back with another don't get me wrong I am proud of her BUUUUTTTTT The one she took was three times the distance and a $ 1.00 less an hour.

That is funny when you say that. Maybe she will like this other job better even though it is more miles away from the house. I know exactly how you feel though. That sounds like something my husband would do. I am the one who figures up and does all of our finances. I know it must have thrown you for a loop when she did that, but she did she have a good explanation for doing it? That would be my main concern. I hope she like her new job and maybe if they hire her full time, she will make up for the loss in wages. I wish her the best of luck with it.

Well they were both temp to hire and she had her choice. After my initial reaction, I listened and she thinks that this one is more suited to her, So hey we'll see how it goes and I figure that it's easier to go to a job you like as opposed to one that ya don't.

I hope it is more suited for her. I had alot of great jobs and the last one I left, paid pretty good but the people I worked with, drove me nuts. I love the job. I final inspected gas engines. I knew nothing about engines but I learned my job quickly and did it very well. I just couldn't stand being drove nuts by lazy, nosey co-workers every day. They wouldn't do their job. They were too busy nosing in my business and everyone elses.

maybe the one she took will last longer or is it more suited to her interests? That's all I can think of. :)

Maybe she liked the job better that was further away. I mean it would be worth it for me to drive further, accept less pay if I thought I would like the job better. I've had jobs a few blocks from my house that were the biggest dredge in the world to go to every day... Ok if not that maybe she was having a blonde moment or as my kids would say "the old lady thing"...

Maybe the one she took is more suitable with her skill and experience, therefore she has more confident in it. I think for me, it is more important that I can enjoy the job and the feeling that I am capable of doing the job, than $1.00 less of the pay.

Is it possible that the job she went in for she wasn't suited to? I have gone through a temp service before. I also went in for one job and came out with another one. The one I went in for, after talking to me about my background and experience the lady at the temp service told me that I wasn't really suited for and offered me another job in its place. It also paid less but it wasn't really a decision I was able to make. I don't know how I was not suited to the job I had come in for since it was the feild I had worked most in. The job she placed me in I got a raise soon after starting and got a perm position with the company. So after all is said and done it was better for me anyway. It may be the same in your wifes case. I am sure there is a very good reason for her taking the other job. I would talk to her about it and find out for sure what happened. I hope all goes well for you!

Well, at least she got a job! HA...no but really...women can be confusing. Don't know if we'll really ever understand them. But they probably won't understand us ever either! Good luck.

Funny, i was just wondering the same thing...what makes men think the way they do? But in regards to her job, well, maybe she figured she would enjoy the one she took better? A job is a job is a job, unless you hate it!

First of all, she didn't weigh all the options, she is looking at job responsibilities, not money or distance. If she is blonde, or two french fries short of a happy meal, your are used to this decision making ideal's or what is important to HER. I am sure you love your wife very much. I would just stay out fishing guy!
