When it rains it pours!

So it's been awhile since I ranted to ya'll. I'm not going to fill you in on all the time I missed, but I will bring you up to speed.
First, I don't remember if I told you, but I applied for the Director of the Pomeroy Library about 9 months ago. I was dressed uber professional, came prepared with all the documentation of everything I had done at the RCPL, documents showing all the donations I had procured, etc. I was the perfect candidate for the job. But instead of hiring me, they hired a lady with no library experience. They also took a bunch of my ideas that I had shown them and had her do them at their library. Total insult! My ideas are good enough but I'm not?!
So jump to 2 weeks ago. The Manson Library is hiring a Children's Librarian. It's part time and will work well with my existing Children's Librarian job. I interviewed the day I turned in my application. Then I got called not even a few days later and asked to interview again with some of their board members. Well that was this past Monday. The interview went great. I am sure I have to be in the front runners!!!
This week the Pomeroy Library has an ad in the paper. That lady quit on them and they are hiring a director again. I will not apply this time! Well then Tuesday my library director at RCPL tells me that she heard through the grapevine that I was going to be offered the Pomeroy Director job. She also thinks that I will be offered the Manson Children's Librarian job.
So now (once they both call) I will have to decide between the two. Here are the pros and cons-
Manson Pros
Love the board and director (so nice!)
the hours work well for me
they will let me keep my blue hair
i get to stay a children's librarian and have 2 libraries on my resume showing how in demand I am
director has been there 27 years and can teach me alot (also stand a good chance of her retiring in the next 5 to 10 years and would be a shoe in for director)
Manson Cons
they won't pay to certify me as a librarian
they have a certain way they want things done, so won't get to change programming, have to stick with their ways
Pomeroy Pros
they will pay to certify me
will have a directorship on my resume (which gives me the keys to the library world front door)
will work with my library schedule
small library so it should be a good one to learn the ropes at
Pomeroy Cons
board insulted me
have heard horror stories about how bitchy and nosy their board is (difficult to deal with)
won't let me keep the blue hair
would most likely end up leaving as soon as possible and will have "quit directorship" on my resume

Now to make the decision even tougher, Joe was injured at work this week. He is off work for a week (probably not getting paid for it). He was told that if it wasn't better by Friday then he needs physical therapy. It's Thursday now and he is not better. So what if this is really serious? What if he is in chronic pain for life? What if he can't go back to doing construction? What if I end up the sole breadwinner for our family? I need to choose the job that will give us the best possible future.
I want to go with Manson. I can be myself while being taught by people who not only know what they are doing (both in Manson and RCPL), but want to help me succeed. I can see myself being happy in Manson. Pomeroy I just see stressing me out and ending up hurting me in the end.
So I can up with an idea. I want to see if the RC Friends of the Library will pay to certify me. If they won't pay the whole thing, maybe I can get Manson to go half on it with them. Because lets be honest, certification is the only thing Pomeroy has going for them.
So I am hoping that my future will be taking a turn for the better in the near future. I am also praying that Joe will heal and be okay again soon.
Wish me luck and keep a candle burning for me!
