Job Change ...
I know, I'm terrible. I only lasted a couple of months but that job just was NOT the fit for me that I thought it would be. It's the job I thought I wanted, but once there I realized it was NOT what I wanted. I really hated it. I hated the isolation of working totally alone... I had nothing in common with most of my coworkers... I just dreaded it so much every day. I realized my funk wasn't JUST about Deacon and my issues there... but that I was in a unhappy, unhealthy place.
But a job offer fell into my lap last week and I took it. I got to CHOOSE to have weekends off (which is ok because Mat's boss is going to work with him and try and at least give him Sundays so we'll still have a family day). The pay is .50 more an hour with the potential of making 9.75 an hour... PLUS I get an "attendance bonus" where if I just show up for my scheduled hours I get an extra $1 an hour in pay. and it's HALF the "work". My other job was a work-hard job. I got dirty and sweaty and tired... this job is a sit-down-in-front-of-a-computer job. (i mean, who wouldn't take an EASIER job that pays more, right?? lol)
Basically I'll be doing things like activating people's credit cards for them, answering questions for things like medicaid cards, or health insurance policies... more or less I'll be answering customer service calls at a call center.
My clothing job, they took it really well and even told me that they really HATED to lose me and that if I changed my mind, there would be a job there for me. Even if I only wanted part-time. They weren't angry or upset, and totally understood that I was making a move to BETTER myself by taking a higher paying job.
I start training classes tomorrow, and I'm excited.
It feels good to feel excited about something instead of "panic-y" ;)
I'll update more later.
