So, I posted here I had two irons in the fire about new jobs. I had an interview with the first today.
Well it looks like I’m canceling the second because they offered me the position. I knew they were serious when they sent a police officer to pick up the village councilwoman that is in charge of personnel from her day job.
This is a little more money then my current job with a higher position most likely opening up after the first of the year.
The big bonus is I’m going from an hour one way commute to a ten minute each way commute. Plus, I’m going from a swing shift of second and third shift working 2 weekends out of 3, and the new job is Monday-Friday first shift and working a couple of hours every fourth weekend.
The other option would’ve been more money but would’ve been second shift and more weekends plus a longer commute. In the end a couple extra bucks an hour isn’t worth the hassle of second shift with a family.

Quality of life beats a little bit of money hands down. Congrats!!

Congrats! However, this statement is puzzling:
I knew they were serious when they sent a police officer to pick up the village councilwoman that is in charge of personnel from her day job.

The village councilwoman that is in charge of approving new hires can’t drive. Once the person that interviewed me decided he wanted to offer me the job he sent an officer to pick her up so she could come meet me.
No lights and sirens were involved.

You may have mentioned it in a previous post, but what is your new gig?

Right now I’ll be a tech in the water department of a small village. In about 6 months I’ll take over the water plant when a current employee retires.

Lol, nope. I saw what she had to do to read my paperwork, and I was very glad to see she didn’t drive.
