Opportunity and missed opportunity?

jcollie719I found a job listing last night for a telephone fundraiser position in Pueblo (about a 30 to 40-minute drive south of Colorado Springs.) It's a Monday-Friday job and would pay over $12,000 per year (32 hours per week.) The ad said evening shifts were available, but it didn't say if other shifts were also available. The only things an evening shift would affect are my Monday Overeaters Anonymous meetings, Friday dinners with my parents and some online video streams.
As I said in an August post, the combined $18,000+ from this job and KRCC (before taxes) would allow me to pay all of my bills and give me a little extra to save up or use for additional expenses (possibly some better health insurance.) Even though people don't like to get unsolicited calls, at least I'd be doing it for a good cause (National Federation of the Blind.)
I'm hoping to make it to a fundraising concert Sunday afternoon. The event, "Gerlypalooza," starts at 1 PM at the Finish Line Bar and Grill inside the Southern Colorado Gaming and Events Center in Pueblo (the former greyhound park near I-25 and W. Pueblo Blvd.) Proceeds will help Pueblo musician John Gerlock (of the Big Cat Band) raise money for his cancer treatment. I met Gerlock through a KRCC co-worker who sometimes plays The Big Cat Band on his show. At least one of his albums (Still Alive) is available on iTunes.
