First of all, thank you all for your well wishes in my new job move. I received the acceptance letter yesterday and spoke to the HR person and my new boss today over the phone. I just wanted to be clear with my need for either a bigger monitor or software that can make text bigger or a magnified glare guard. They have chosen to go with a new bigger monitor. It will be about a month before it gets here. In the meantime, I will be training at several desks, so I will just have to make due until then. It's gonna be a little rough, but as long as I can make nose art on the monitor, I'll be okay on a very temp basis.
They sound so pleased to have me on board and assured me that they have taken care of everything for this accomodation. I can hardly wait to start (Monday after next).
In the meantime, Robert and DeAnna have offered my old job to LePrece, who is also a mutual friend. She will do great. She will be training with me for about 5 days. I'm so glad it was easy for them to hire someone else so quickly and this gal will be GREAT.
Since I'll be about a 10 minute walk from home, I plan on coming home for lunch so that I can release Miss Maddie from the laundry room and she can have run of the house for the afternoons. Plus, it will be good exercise for me with 2 round trips a day.
So WOOHOOO! This really sounds like THE JOB I want.
Murphy's law.....I hadn't more than an hour accepted their terms by phone when I got another phone call. It was another job offer working downtown (bus ride) working a data entry position for a large shoe company. It sounds like the candidate they chose didn't work out and they were calling me to replace him/her. That job was a bit more money but I'm happy with my choice. The job I've chosen really does have my name written on it. I hope this is THE job and I don't have to do this again.
Time to get back to housecleaning. Speaking of which.....since I'm working 40 hours again, I'm looking for someone to come in and clean about every 3 weeks. Any takers? :grin:
Congratulations Sandi! :meme: :meme: :meme: The job sounds perfect, and finding a replacement for your current position that easily is certainly a bonus!
I bet Maddaroo is going to LOVE having mama home for lunch!
Let us know how it goes!
Congrats Sandi - sounds great !!!! Very kewl that you can go home each day - the Maddaroo will love it !
That is so great!! :apls: I'm happy you have found such a good job. How exciting! As far as the house cleaning thing....um, have you seen my house lately? :2funny: Good Luck at your new job!!!
:apls: :apls: CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW JOB....WOOHOO!!! :hello2: It sounds wonderful and like it was made to order!!! Housecleaning? Whass that???? :dontknow:
Sounds great! I think the new bosses sound very nice and like they are looking forward to having you. Even though the other offer pays more, I wouldn't want to be someone's second choice, and I would choose the easy commute and chance to see my furkid at lunch over a little more money. It would have been eaten up by bus fare anyway!
Congratulations Sandi! It sounds like a great job, I'm really happy for you! :thumb:
