Com(fort)promise

This pseudo-work I am doing now is not within my comfort zone. For one, talking to people CONSTANTLY is not my cup of tea. But it's something I have to do so I have to do it. Tonight, I spoke with an Indian prospect. The time difference? HUGE. I had to call him up midnight my time just to get started. Am I willing to do this everyday? I don't want to. Will talking to him make me earn more money? Yes. Am I willing to compromise? I don't know. It's bad enough that I don't like what I do, I have to do it round the clock.
I told Hoen I'd give this a month or 2 months tops. If I am still not comfortable, then I will have to quit. Otherwise, I'll tough it out. Also, if they do find polyps in my uterus then another D&C is inevitable. We transfer houses next month and the deal is to get it ready (paint dry and all) before we move in. School is up in August so all the more. What I really want to do now is study web design. This is so Hoen and I can put something up in the future- he builds the site, I design it. Of course, I am not expecting to become some avant garde designer in a flash but I am willing to start somewhere.
Anyway, going back, why does everything have to be about being stuck between comfort and compromise.
