So my life is about to change in a major way. Hopefully a good way. I got a new job. A new, fancy job in San Fran working for AIG, making 44k/year starting salary. That is $10,000 more a year than I make now, or $21.50/hour which is substantially more than I make now. The benefit package is outrageous. 401k matching, pension plan, full medical/dental/vision coverage from date of hire, stock options (and they are #4 on the Fortune 500, so the stock is worth having), life insurance, they pay for my BART fare, and THE LIST GOES ON. Such a huge, amazing opportunity for me and my family. Its an actual career that pays me enough to support the fam, and it has endless potential for growth and promotion. 2007 IS OFF TO AN AMAZING START.
I still have to give my 2 weeks at my current job, which is something I am not looking forward to at all. I feel like I betrayed them in some sense, but really I would be stupid to pass up on this opportunity. Its so scary to me to think of starting brand new. I know the ins and outs of my job.. I know how to do everyone's job in that office even. Where I'm going will be completely new and different. I feel like Alice in Wonderland almost... maybe one day I'll be one of those women in the board room with marble floors and big chandeliers. It seems so beyond me I almost feel like calling them to ask if they made some kind of mistake. ME? Are you sure?
Start date is 2/20. Wish me luck!
Also, FINALLY got all of the bridesmaid dress orders in. Now just need the DJ, invitations, final guest list, cake, and flowers. I guess thats alot.AHHHHHHHHHHHHhhh I can't wait to just be married already!!!
