THIS OR THAT?
-
so now after i've turned down the first offer 1.5 weeks ago, the story continues ^^
today i had my 2nd interview at the company i've introduced as:
…the 2nd external offer is a great office where i handed in my papers myself (the other papers where handed in from a head hunter). so today i just heard back from them and that they want to invite me for a 2nd and final interview (which is where i get to know all the details about their offer). some ex-colleagues are working there already and the company itself works with the exact same programs and systems as i do now, so the change wouldn't be that big as well. ...
i've got to know one of the big bosses and also the other guy, i had the first interview with him, was joining us as well.
the interview itself started of pretty good and also ended that way 2 hours later
so right now i'm chilling at home on my couch, with possible contract-papers right beside me… which both of the guys already have signed
fml ??? ...i really didn't think it would be that hard, to decide on your future (job) and at what company you'll be working for the next 2,3,4,5 years...shit is fecking crazy!

Don't worry, after a while you get used to having no clue what you're doing.
You should have kids; that makes figuring out a career seem easy…

Personal development would sway it for me @Finn666
On a considerably more serious note than jobs, careers, and life changing decisions, I have a pressing first world problem that I need sorting out. I'm looking at a pair of high end Norwegian made work boots and can't make up my mind which leather I want. They'll be worn with indigo jeans and work trousers for the most part (shocker I know), and I've been looking at them so long I've almost lost the will to buy a pair. So dear fellow forum member, which pair floats YOUR boat and why:
Dark brown Chromexcel:
Horween Roast Coffee Bayou:
Horse front, natural tan:
And a little more out there, black Zug and brown latigo:
All input much appreciated.
-
Agreed. Bayou.

Are you sure those are Norwegian made?
Sorry, you are right. I was being lazy in my description. Strictly speaking no, they're made in England, but after a Norwegian design, for a Norwegian company https://www.dundasfootwear.com
Do you know anything about them @Giles ?

Bayou imo (natural tan a close second)

Horse front, definitely.
Explanation for the choice is as follows: I dislike zug grain, just a personal aesthetic opinion, nothing quantifiable, so those are out. I don't like how CXL can get scraped up while walking across a carpet made of rainbows and warm hugs, so those are out. The bayou is good, but I like the color of the horse better, plus horse hide develops a really nice soft glow over time that's unique.

I really like the horse front, myself.

Hey Finn666, when you get a job, someone believes you can do everything required of that role. You have two responsibilities at that point – 1) don’t prove them wrong; and 2) prove them more than right by demonstrating that you can do more at every opportunity. Now you have a chance to shine again. Congrats!

http://williamlennon.co.uk/Thank you. They seem like the real deal?
And thank you very much to everyone who played. You've all been very helpful. The Chromexcel is eliminated from the running, and that is a good start. There's something about the zug/latigo that I find strangely appealing, but it isn't really an option. It's down to the Bayou or the horse. I'll let you all know how it pans out…

bought at pair straight from WL, they have tons of leather options- Love the bayou.
Straight from WL they can do stuff like line them, you get to choose what soles you want (even hobnails if you are so inclined)Not quite the highest finish like viberg and wesco, but bomber built. heavy and stiff.
And a fraction of the price..Libs at WL is great to deal with
