Take the job for sure. You can see Hibs at night games and maybe they won't need you every weekend. Good luck👍

Would defo take the job. Starting a new job is anxiety-inducing for the vast majority, so it’s probably doubly so for yourself. I know I found it difficult after being off work for similar reasons. Will be rewarding when you get back into the working life though, and Hibs will always be there!

Take the job. Hibs will always be there as and when you are available to watch them while a good job isn't always going to appear.

Take the job mate, remember it’s easier to get a job when you’re in employment. 😉 there’s always a chance that the shift patterns might change. A massive step in the right direction, congratulations!!!!

Take the job mate. Do yourself a favour. The club the stadium and the HIBS family will always be there for you. I remember one spell last season there was one period where it seemed HIBS did not have a home game for about six weeks. My wife was convinced it was some sort of rip off conspiracy. Take the job it will boost your health and your bank balance. You can always jack it when we get into the CL! :wink:

Congratulations on getting the job and your life back on track.

Hibs will always be there for you, the short term pain of missing some games is worth the gain.

Take the job mate 100%. I’ve missed more Hibs games over the last two seasons than I did the previous ten due to changing my role at work which required callouts and weekend work, and between that and saving for a house deposit I get to about half the games I used to and to begin with it was as frustrating but you adapt. It won’t be forever though as circumstances change but Hibs will always be there and you can pick them back up ‘full time’ for want of a better phrase in the near future. Good luck pal :aok:

Really, dump the job, stay on the dole. Are you going to listen to my advice? Of course not. I'm sure you know the answer yourself.

:agree: Spot on mate.

I guess the OP is “having a wobble” more due to his anxiety issues - I admit to not really understanding much in that area but take the leap and hopefully it’ll help to turn your life round.

Bottom line is that you have to put yourself and your family first. Employment gives you money which gives you greater opportunities and choices in life.
The reality is that Hibs don't give 2 hoots whether you are at the games or not. That goes for any club in any sport. We often attach to things that, when we step back and look at it, are not really that important in the big scheme of things.
Enjoy your job. Good luck for the future and don't worry about Hibs, it's just football and you won't be missing much. Plenty folk work weekends.

First of all congratulations on getting your life back on track. I'm sure it's been a long hard road and you deserve a lot of credit for turning things round. You should definitely take this job. If you don't you may find yourself in a position where you have the time to watch Hibs but without the means to do so anyway. Presumably you won't have to do every weekend if it's shifts and there always midweek games too, so I'm sure you'll still get to see a few games.

This. :agree:

Take the job - the rest of us will give an extra cheer at games on your behalf.
:flag:

As the poster says, you can look to move on to a job with more convenient hours from a stronger position if you are already employed.

Congratulations on your success in getting the job offer in what must have been difficult circumstances - you are obviously a person of some strength and character!

Or maybe helped out by family and friends. Either way, must have involved considerable personal sacrifice.

seriously take the job. It can lead to another job we’re you can come back and watch Hibs. If it’s a good job, good pay then it really is worth taking.

Take the job. Really well done on being able to apply for and get a job. It will have been a very long road for you and you should feel extremely proud of yourself. As you will know there will be bumps along the way, especially getting used to life with a job again and all that it entails, but try and use your darkest times as reminders of what being truely in a bad place is and use it as a comfort as to what you know you can overcome. Well done again and keep on grinding!

well done on getting a job you like and are managing to keep down, despite your issues.

the job has to come first my friend. thats the only way you are going to afford to go watch the Hibs in your spare time.

as others have said Hibs will always be there!

the only way is UP!!!!

Making statements as if they're questions by raising the voice towards the end. Or putting a question mark at the end of a sentence when it's uncalled for. It's a pet peeve of a few on here?

He quoted you as you asked why the dig, which he agreed with and then posed another question on the same previous post.

It wasn’t a pop at you, just used your post to give clear context to his.

Which is your business and nobody else's mate …. you shouldn't feel the need to respond to a pig ignorant comment like that one.

Well done on getting the job, I know as well as anybody how difficult it is to face up to life when you are suffering from mental health problems like anxiety or depression, so this is definitely a step in the right direction. As other folk have said, Hibs will always be there and hopefully you will still be able to make a few games a season. Being constrained by work, finances or family commitments from being a regular attender at matches doesn't make you or anybody else less of a Hibs fan than those of us lucky enough not to have those problems … never ever think it does.

Take the job and the very best of luck to you :aok:
