Work....
Well today my new boss comes in and tells me they are transfering me to another building to do simialar job...My best friend and co-worker is going to be replacing me in my current job and they are merging part of her job and the women I am part of the one I am replacing into a new position.
So basically instead of re-evaluating Carole's and my postions to give us a raise they are taking parts away and giving it to someone who already makes more money. After 22 years it would be nice to finally get the promotion I have been promised by several bosses, but I would rather make less money and like my job so I am trying to keep as positive as I can.
The bad side is I will not be working with my best friend and we won't be able to vist each other before work and on our breaks. I am not too fond of the folks in the department at the other site. I will have to give up being a union representitive for the ladies from the building I am leaving and where I am going they already have 3 reps.(this leaves the building I am leaving without anyone to represent them as a union steward). I won't be able to go to the Thursday Bunch for Lunch Bible Study group we had on-site and that I sometimes lead when Mike (my old boss) wasn't there.
The good news is the new position comes with reserved parking spot, the building is next to my credit union (so I can get money easier without a trip acorss town), it is next to a major road and closer to places to go out to eat at lunch if I want to (it also has a better in-house cafeteria if I choose to lunch in), it is closer to my grandson's school, and there is a new road with higher speed limit so I can zip to and from work much easier and quicker. Also one of my old friends will be in the same building so maybe we can start going out for Mexican food lunches like we use to do when we worked in the same department before she changed jobs a few years back.
I am trying to focus on the good things as much as possible, but I am really going to miss Carole. She is the one who always gives me cards to encourage me and little gifts at my birthday and Christmas so I don't miss my mom as much.
Really I feel quite blessed to have a good job and benefits, so I am just going to be as happy a little camper as I can be and trust the God will work all things out for my good!!!
