Got a puzzler for you all....

Your life, bro... but you did ask, so here goes:

First, I would try to reconcile with my mom. Life is too short and I am not a fan of living with regrets. Job or no job, I would try to open communication with her if nothing else.

Next, I would talk to the cousin and let him know I was interviewing for the job. I would tell him if I got it that my plan was to work professionally and that I was not planning on becoming best buddies - but I did hope for a civil work environment.

If he wants none of it, I might pass on the job. Stress is a killer, and I'm sure he could make life pretty miserable, even if "he isn't supposed to" by company policy.

Either way, I am hoping for whatever is best for you and your home.

Well that was a waste of time...

Really pisses me off when a job is posted and they don't give all the proper details....
The first words out of the interviewer's mouth "So how much experience do you have with TSSA?" (Technical Standards and Safety Authority)
Me... "none."
Why don't they post the requirements and stop wasting time??
