This is my first update since January 27, 2010
I figure this is journal worthy. Forgive the grammatical errors and what not. I wrote this in a big hurry.
Yesterday my boss's boss pulled me into her office. She informed me of an opportunity here at RBC Bank in Mortgage Ops that was available. It's in the building I used to work in, which is like 1 block down the street. She explained what it would entail, but afterwards it was pretty much a this is what you are going to, rather than do you want to take this opportunity. So either later this week or the beginning of next I'll be switching jobs. To be honest I really like where I am when it comes to me being comfortable. She also informed me that the Vice President of Mortgage was the one who asked for me to be put in that position. I was really pessimistic about it at first, but after speaking with my boss I feel a lot better about this. This could be a temporary or permanent thing, but if it's temporary, I was informed that they would pull me back down here to work where I am currently. So from what I've been told, I'm in no danger of losing my job. In other words, this isn't there way of trying to phase me out of the company, which that is my primary concern. I know some of the people I'll be working with, which is good, but I don't know a whole lot of them. It'll be the same thing, yet it'll be new. From what I have been told, my responsibilities will be to review an application on new loans called fraud guard, which helps us detect fraudulent loans, and I'll be pulling 4506-T documents. Basically, I'm switching from working with loans that have closed and are already funded, to working with loans that haven't closed yet. A back-end to mid-front-end if you will. A pay raise isn't definite at the moment, but I do know the people who work down there make more money than we do here, so as long as I get trained down there and they like me, I should be getting a raise.
To say the least, my nerves are on edge beyond belief at the moment. As always my primary concern is making sure I have enough money coming in steadily to allow myself and Tiffany to live comfortably. I know so many people who are having issues finding jobs or losing jobs, and that just in general scares me. At the same time though, it makes me feel very blessed that I have what I do. I do complain about not being able to get an IT job yet, but if I step back and look at the big picture, and what I need versus what I want, then what I have is more than I deserve.
Keep me in your prayers guys. I'm hoping this will end up being a great thing.
