Feeling Blessed!

I had my first "Monday" at my new job today. I started setting up my new office and files, and I even cut a couple of po's on my first real day on the job. So far so good. I like my new boss, who is super nice..and I am loving the fact that I have my own office with a door. I can totally block out any noise, etc if I am on the phone and actually have a private conversation. It's a new thing for me!

In other news... US A-hole Company laid off 20 more people today- and the 2 people that were left there that I truly liked were among the unlucky ones...my ex boss and my one friend D. My ex boss Facebooked me to let me know that he was laid off- I haven't heard from D yet..but I did send her a message telling her that I was sorry to hear about it. I know her husband was laid off last year around the holidays and now it happened to her this year. I hope that she will be ok. I hope she emails me back..... I find it ironic that I started this job just as they started cutting personnel again... It's also ironic that my ex boss JUST was a reference for me last week when I was being hired for my current job. Thank goodness I got the job before all this happened...it would have been hard to do a reference for my last position otherwise...

My baby boy is cutting TWO more top teeth for a new total of 6 teeth...so he's been a little cranky, but thank GOD he has been SO much better for my mom when she babysits him for me so I can work. I think that once I get into the groove of this company and the routine of dropping off the baby and picking him up every day, I will do great. It's another period of adjustment is all...and since I have had constant changes for the past year it's not a big deal anymore...we are on to a new phase in our lives!

In summation...I feel so very blessed to have this new job and an opportunity to start a new career at a different company and may I have a long and successful career there!

That's it and that's all!!!

I got the Job!!

I am pleased to announce that I got the job that I had previously posted about.... I have been too busy to post, but I am pretty shocked and happy about it. I can't believe that it's the same company that I had applied to back in July and they called me back! I will be the newest buyer there, and although it's part time (20 hrs/week) with no benefits like paid time off, I got to choose my hours, which will be 8 am-12 noon Monday thru Friday, and I will have my own office for the first time ever...also I will be paid more $ per hour than my last job, so when this eventually turns to a full time position, it will be more $ than before. I can only hope that they haven't sold me on a sham position with no future, because I am TIRED of job hunting and want to have a permanent place to call home so to speak. My first day is tomorrow- I will be working in the warehouse for 2 days then moving to the office after that. Needless to say, after being out of work for exactly 9 months today- I am nervous about starting over AGAIN and even more nervous about how my baby boy will react to being away from me for about 5 hrs per day. He has gotten a tiny bit better about staying with my Mom, but it was a rough go yesterday when my Mother in law had him for a couple of hours while I went to a chiro appt. It's going to be a huge adjustment for both of us. I can only hope it's easier on him than on me.

That's about it for now...I will post more when I get started in my new place!

That's it and that's all!
