Well, I got the HR payroll clerk job!  It was actually offered to me on Friday, after a long talk with the HR Director and one of our company's VPs.  And I think it will be fun and a great opportunity to learn a new skill set.  The catch is that they want me to also keep doing my current job (inventory control).  They are paying me good money, plus ( Read more... )

It's been an insane and extremely stressful week, but the payoff is good because - I've got a job!

A ridiculously good job to boot.  Best pay I've ever had in my life, excellent benefits after my probationary period ends.  Not too physical, plus working mostly on my own once I'm trained up.  Initially, I think it's going to be pretty challenging, if ( Read more... )
