The Bitch Is Back!

I GOT A JOB!!!!!

Relief doesn't even begin to describe how I'm feeling right now! I can walk to work, it's a small but growing company, I can walk to work, I get benefits and a pretty darn good salary to boot. I start October 3 so I still have a couple of weeks to hang and now I can actually enjoy not working, ya know?

How do you spell relief? I-N-C-O-M-E!

  • Grumpybunny, Mainja & Dickey - Thanks! I'm very relieved and actually pretty excited to be getting back to the grind. I'm sure though in a few months I'll be back to my old jaded self! ;)

  • YAY YAY YAY! So extremely happy for you! I can only imagine what it was like for you, and having read your thoughts, I can see this as a major relief. Big hugs and a toast.

  • Susan and Epi - Thanks! I'm hoping this will be a good job. The people seem nice and there's lots of variety in the work so that's good too.

  • The best part is that you will indeed be able to enjoy your last few weeks off as now they are a true vacation. Go buy yourself some fall boots in celebration.

  • Way to go, Sister!! It sounds like the perfect job for you - walking to work, benefits, and a decent salary to boot. And, the company must be, by definition, run by some pretty cool and intelligent people.

    Now that you're officially "on vacation" rather than "between jobs," go have some fun. Hmmm . . . did I hear someone mention shopping?

  • Snooze - Way ahead of you! Already bought a new skirt for my first day and booked a hair appointment. And yes, I can officially enjoy the next two weeks!

    Govgirl - Now we can start thinking about when we want to go do another Kingston trip - and this time I can afford to splurge with you at that fab jewellry store!

    Mr. Mystic - thanks - it's nice to be happy!

  • btw - was that the phone interview that your friend helped to calm you down for?

    By Blogger Snooze, at 1:31 PM  

  • Snooze - No, actually, it wasn't. My husband actually came across this job listing. It was fast - I applied, a week later I get called for an interview, interview last Thursday, they ask for references Thursday evening, call them Friday and made the offer Monday!

  • Congratulations! You must have really knocked their socks off for them to move so quickly with an offer. Enjoy the next two weeks, and hope your first day goes swimmingly.

  • EarthMother - Thanks! It was funny, when my references all emailed to tell me they'd been contacted, they all commented on how much the company seemed to like me, so I figured that was a good sign!
