And holy guacamole, I got the job! Lol! I am a little freaked out right now. What have I done?!? I'm starting at the entry level for that position, so I should be ok. I'll be working at the corporate headquarters versus the satellite sites.
A few weeks ago, I posted about a really annoying fellow employee and I'm so glad I won't have to work with her anymore. There were a few other things going on that was slowly driving me to hate my job. I was even dreaming about it. Blech.
The absolute best part...my starting pay at the new job is more than the max pay I would have received if I had stayed at my current position for several more years. So my bump in pay will be substantial. Plus my workday will be 10 hours instead of 8, so I will have 3 consecutive days off each week.
I took a 15 year break from the work force to be a SAHM, and never thought I'd get a chance to contribute significantly to our household budget. While I still make just a fraction of my husband's pay, we'll be able to use my paycheck for fun extras like orthodontist bills. Lol!
Why didn't I do this months ago?!? I guess I can thank annoying co-irker for the push I needed.

Congratulations! I do 10 hour workdays but I take Wednesdays off- I love never having to work more than 2 days in a row. And the days don't seem long- I'm so busy they just go by in a blur.  at least something good came out of annoying co-worker! |

Congratulations! I'm glad that your annoying co-worker was the "push" you needed to get out of your comfort zone and reach for a better position!!

Congratulations!!!!
And maybe someday 'fun extras' will be more than orthodontist bills! LOL but I know exactly what you mean! My fun extras are a college food plan and college books.

How wonderful! Congrats! Will your commute change in length? It will add 10-15 minutes each way. But having to drive there 4 days instead of 5, it balances out. |
