Sorry this is more a WWYD than AIBU...
I've just found out that I have an interview for an amazing and rare job - woohoo! BUT, the timing sucks. I have 3 weeks to submit my PhD thesis which has taken years and tears out of my life. I've so much left write that I'm working all hours on top of all the parenting stuff you need to do around Christmas time. The interview requires a presentation and a test which I will need to prepare for, and would be a whole day out as it's in a different city. I just don't have that time.
WWYD:
A) Cancel the interview, make sure I do a good job on my PhD thesis and hope that another job comes up next year (but this job is a bit of a one off).
B) Go for the interview and risk not getting my PhD done in time, or at least done but not perfect.
To complicate things, my PhD supervisor is very supportive of me going for the interview. But my husband is very much against it because he doesn't think I can take any more stress.
AND. Part of me actually craves having a break and not working at all for a while as I've gone straight from having a baby, severe PND to a final year of PhD. It's been an intense couple of years and I feel I should spend more time with the kids whilst they're young.
BUT. The other half feels like I've worked hard for this, I should use it and see what I'm capable of.
Thanks for listening to my ramblings - would be interested to hear your thoughts...
