A while back I posted that I had an interview. Apparently it went well, because I start on the 8th.

I’ll make about $1 more per hour, but the best part is full benefits including life insurance. At my current job I didn’t get any benefits at all. It might be way longer hours, but I’ll be ok with that. Also, raises will be often and they have a bonus plan too. I gave my notice to my current employer on Friday.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

To celebrate, I picked up a bottle of the Balvenie 12 Y.O., which I haven’t had in a long time. And I can’t have it yet, because I’m sick as a dog.

I hope everyone has as good a Christmas as I’m having. (Except for the cold, obviously.)

Looking for a new job around the holidays is always tricky. With so many managers taking time off, I remember it being frustrating. The worst is waiting for the call that probably won’t happen until the new year while trying to enjoy yourself with Christmas. You are lucky. Congrats!

Thanks! They had actually sent me the “We’re going in another direction” letter and then a few days later they called and said another position had opened up. I was having a particularly shitty day when they called, so it was like being tossed a life preserver.
