Earlier this week, I told you I’m picking up a brand new car! On top of that, I also told you I got picked up by a new company! Well, in an interesting turn of events...

...the company I contracted with for the last three months wants me back...salaried...ALL OF THE BENEFITS...and for a salary so large that it kicks me into a new tax bracket. I can see why people work at this place for decade$. :D

It’s an easier job than the other company, doesn’t require 12 weeks of training or selling, and it pays so so much more.

So, what does that mean? 3 months ago, I started my contract, with the premise that only 1 of the 12 of us would go on to the salaried position. I beat out the 11 other contractors and the 100 or so outside applications. :)

Me right now:

Stay tuned everyone. I pick up the new car tomorrow too. I know Denver is an Oppo hotspot, any of you want to chill? :)

Congrats!!!!

I think you should take a moment and reflect over the last couple years. A lot of highs, and a lot of lows. This is how life goes, but you just keep diggin’. You’ve done well for yourself. Hold your head high, and know that when the next low comes, it won’t last forever.

GOOD WORK!! :D

The last couple of years has been a wild ride...and despite my lows, screw it, I’d do it all over again. I mean heck, I’m going to be doing a lot of bucket list firsts tomorrow...fly on a plane, go to California, go on a western road trip. :D

And danke! <3
