FINALLY i have some GOOD news!!

Original post by February05

ok... i've barely been on (well, at my usual rate, anyway) b/c things have been sooo hectic, and cr@ppy lately... just wedding, family, and work stress all at once (oh yeah, and FH is def going to Vegas for his BP--- still not excited about this, but i'll deal)

Anyway... as most of you know... i hate my job. Not just hate it, but everyday i seem to face the debate- would i rather drive rusted nails into my arms or dull pencils into my eyeballs (as these are the better alternatives than going into my office everyday) and while whining about it had actually become fun- in a self- destructive kinda way- I decided to get serious about going somewhere else. Although i thought i should wait to add the stress until AFTER the wedding (only 95 days away )... i didn't want to put it off-- what good is staying just for the sake of being miserable.

SOOOOOOOO last week, i got a call from North Shore LIJ-- I went for the interview, and Today, i got a phone call saying that I GOT THE Position!!!!! I am so excited, its not even funny!!!

so one thing- the salary is a Bit less than what i make now... but in 6 months, it goes back up to where i am now. It made me a little hesitant b/c of the wedding coming up, so i called FH at work to discuss. Now, Here is the best part of my day (even more than actually getting the job)... FH's response (keep in mind that he also Hates his job lol)::

'Im so Happy for you!! dont worry about the cut-- ill do some OT and itll all even out. I dont want you to pass up this opportunity. we'll make it work, and we'll be fine!!!'
the way he said it was just so awesome... i almost got all teary
(you know i dont usually gush over FH, but he was totally deserving of this one!)


So now my plan is to wait until my Supervisor is in a SUPER B!tchy mood (which will probably be w/ in 10 minutes of her getting into work ).. and Then break the news to her. I'm happy

Congrats on the new job! I just went through the same exact situation...I hated my job and then I got this job offer, but at a little less money. I was hesitant to take it at first but my FH was so supportive and after taking the new job, I am a much happier person...I'm sure everything will work out for you! Good luck!

Yea Neenie!!!! That is the best news. Remember after taxes a couple of thousand doesn't even make a dent in you budget but being miserable certainly makes a dent in your life!!!!! I can't wait to hear your boss' reaction!

That's great good for you I remember a couple of other posts where you were saying how much you hate your job that is so great for you. CONGRATS and best of Luck!

I hate my job too but I don't have to look for another job because next year my job is relocating and I am not relocating with them so I will not have to worry about that until the time comes.

But just so you know I feel you because I felt the same way!

That's awesome. Congratulations.

I hate my job too. Maybe i'll do something about it too. But then, if I get a new job, I couldn't chat on LIW all day. HAHA!

Re: FINALLY i have some GOOD news!!

Thank you SOOOO Much ladies!!!!! your support means So much to me!!

so i told my supervisor- her eyes got all red, and then oout of nowhere- Back into b!tch mode. just walking around today saying 'i dont know what IM supposed to do.. now IIIIIIII have to train someone, me me me blah blah blah'

i think she just loves me too much and cant deal w/ the pain actually, she does like me,,, i just cant stand how mean she is to everyone. and apparently, i put a damper on her plans (she usually plays solitaire for 7 hours a day... now she may only be able to play for 4 )

my last day there is Dec. 3rd.... almost here!!!!!!!!!!!
