It appears my days of freedom are coming to a close. Alas, this is my last day of “vacation”. Otherwise known as “unemployment.”
I received an offer yesterday from a very solid company with benefits that literally blew me out of the water. After three interviews, a reference check and a background check (still in process but hey, I’m no a criminal…hehe), I accepted the job. I start MONDAY. 😮 So this weekend will be about preparing mentally to go back to a full time job. I confess I’m a little apprehensive, especially since my last experience didn’t end so well. I have never felt so betrayed and I can admit now it took a huge blow to my self-confidence. My…retribution (for lack of a better word) is getting a job again with a BETTER company and far better benefits. So there. 😛
I can say I have really enjoyed having three months off. It’s been great. I learned a lot about myself AND my writing. I also learned I have probably the greatest, most supportive husband in the world. AND I got to spend some QT with my kiddo. Even though there were days where he drove me insane. 😀
So now it’s back to juggling two careers and a family. Am I up for the challenge? Oh yeah…
Bring it on.
I also have more news but I think I’ll make you wait until Monday. It’s just as stellar. 😉
Happy weekend!
Awesome. Congratulations! And it shows that there IS work out there, when people know how to go after it. Best wishes in your new situation.
I said it before, but I’m so happy for you. Rock on!
Devon, I agree! There IS work out there to be found. Especially with good, solid companies.
Thanks, Jeffe. 🙂 It was a good week!
Congrats on the new job. Yes there are a few jobs out there. My Husband is over 50, an attorney, and overqualified (so he is told. He had a very bad experience with his last employer a company who’s owner did not have strong ties to the country. Now he is looking and has been for 2 years. Yeah there are jobs out there if you are young even the local quicky mart won’t hire him because he is over qualified. He does some legal work and has sold his first novel out sept. 1st. You are lucky that it has been just 3 months. there are many who have been unemployed for more than a year.
Big fat congrats! Although, it does kinda suck having to go back to work.
When you had three wonderful months of vacation, it is really hard to go back into the reality of working again. But you just have to place it on your memory and face the present situation.
